1 clove fresh garlic, minced
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp yellow mustard
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 (32 oz) bag frozen tater tots
Directions
- Brown the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, chopped onion, and garlic until browned. Drain excess grease.
- Mix the Filling: Stir in cream of chicken soup, ketchup, mustard, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
