How to cook it · about 60 minutes

Brown the beef with the chopped onion, breaking it up well. Pour off the fat.
Stir in the soup, milk, frozen vegetables, salt and pepper. It should be loose — it thickens in the oven.
Spread it in a baking dish and cover the whole surface with tater tots in a single tidy layer.
Bake at 375°F for 40 minutes, until the tots are properly browned and crisp. Pale tots are the only way to get this wrong.
Scatter the cheese over and give it five more minutes.

Amounts are on the list above — they change with the number of people; the steps do not.
