A delicious and hearty casserole featuring ground beef, vegetables, and crispy tater tots, perfect for a family dinner.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking from the start.
Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, then drain any excess fat.
Draining the fat helps reduce the greasiness of the dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, and Worcestershire sauce.
Mixing the soups thoroughly ensures an even distribution of flavors.
Spread the cooked ground beef evenly in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
Pressing the beef slightly helps create a firm base for the casserole.
Sprinkle the chopped celery and diced onion evenly over the beef.
Distributing the vegetables evenly ensures every bite has a mix of flavors.
Pour the soup mixture over the vegetables and beef, spreading it out evenly.
Use a spatula to smooth out the soup layer for even coverage.
Arrange the tater tots in a single layer on top of the casserole.
Aligning the tater tots neatly creates a visually appealing presentation.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Adding the cheese towards the end prevents it from burning and keeps it gooey.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Letting the dish rest allows the layers to set for easier serving.
