an ode to the duggars...my tater-tot casserole

i ♥ the duggars...and the husband has always wanted me to make their "tater-tot casserole". well, im not really a lover of cream-of-mushroom soup, so i changed up the recipe! mine is more like shepherd's pie meets tater-tots. it's quick, easy, and yummy :)

1 lb ground beef

1 1/2 tbsp flour

1 tbsp dijon mustard

2 cups beef stock (add more if needed to make gravy)

1 chopped onion

1 cup chopped carrots

1/2 cup frozen peas

1/2 cup frozen corn

1 cup grated cheese

@ half a package of tater-tots

salt, pepper, garlic powder

brown the beef in a high sided skillet; once browned, add the flour, to make a rue; stir in mustard; gradually stir in stock, add in veggie; season with salt, pepper, garlic powder; simmer for about 10 minutes, until carrots are mostly cooked through; transfer mixture to a baking dish; top with cheese and tots; bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes; turn heat up to 425 degrees and bake for 10 more minutes (to brown tots); let cool 5 minutes; enjoy with the fam...duggar style :)
