Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 cans mixed vegetables drained
  • 1 small bag frozen tater tots
  • salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • 1 large skillet

Directions

  • Preheat the camp oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef to brown. Drain any excess fat.
  • Add the onions and cook until transparent.
  • Add the cans of cream of mushroom soup and cream of chicken soup, then rinse the cans with a small amount of water and tip into the skillet. This will be about 1/4 cup of water.
  • Add the vegetables to the casserole and stir in gently, being aware that canned vegetables tend to be soft and can easily become mushy.
  • Spread the tatter tots across the top of the casserole. Place the skillet in the preheated camp oven to cook for 45 minutes.
    Tip: For a reduced cooking time you can start to cook the frozen tatter tots in another pan then add them to the base when it is ready.
