Ingredients
- 30 oz Bag of Frozen Tater Tots
- 2 lb Ground Beef
- 2 tablespoon Worcestershire
- 2 teaspoon Frank's Red Hot Sauce or your favorite hot sauce
- 2-3 Jalapenos sliced or a 16 oz Jar of Sliced Jalapenos
- 2 cups Shredded Mild Cheddar Cheese
- 8 oz Sour Cream
- ½ teaspoon Cumin
- ½ teaspoon Cayenne pepper
Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup
- 3 tablespoon Butter
- 12 oz Sliced Mushrooms
- ¼ cup All-Purpose Flour
- [1 cup Half & Half]
- 1 cup Chicken Broth
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
- Spray 13" x 9" casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Brown ground beef in a large pan over medium-high heat for about 7-8 minutes. Drain the grease from the pan. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper. Add the ground beef to the bottom of the 13" x 9" pan and spread evenly.
- To make cream of mushroom soup, melt butter in the same large pan. Add mushrooms and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Coat mushrooms with flour. While continuously stirring, slowly add half and half until well blended and smooth. Add chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Allow to simmer for 3-4 minutes as it thickens.
- Stir in sour cream, hot sauce, cumin, and cayenne pepper.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Pour cream of mushroom soup mixture on top of the ground beef and spread evenly. Add a layer of all the cheddar cheese, followed by jalapenos, and a single layer of frozen tater tots on top.
- Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes, until tater tots are golden brown and cheese is bubbling.
