2. Mix soup, veggies, and beef until well blended.
3. Layer meat mixture in a 9x13 pan.  Top with cheese and tater tots.
4. Bake uncovered in a preheated 375 degree oven for 25-35 minutes or until cheese is melted and tater tots are golden brown. 

This is a simple one dish meal and is very kid pleasing :)  My kids like to top theirs with ketchup.
