TATER TOT HOTDISH CROCKPOT RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Put the diced onion in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and saute until ground beef is cooked and onions are translucent. 
• Grease a 9x13 pan. 
• Pour the cooked meat and onions into the 9x13 pan. Spread the veggies evenly over the top.  Add the cheddar cheese. Spread the cream of mushroom soup over the veggies. Some people mix it here, some people don't. It's up to you. 
• Place the tater tots evenly on top of the mixture in straight lines. (It's okay if you're lazy and don't put them in straight lines, just make sure they're pretty even or they won't cook properly)
• Bake for 1 hour. Check. If tater tots are not golden brown and the veggies are still crunchy, put in over for another 20 minutes.
• Let cool and enjoy!
