Preheat oven to 400°F.
Place ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle with onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up into small pieces, until cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
Add gravy and stock and stir until gravy melts into meat, then stir in peas. Remove from heat and place in a 9x9-inch baking dish.
Top with an even layer of frozen tater tots. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until tater tots are golden brown and meat mixture is bubbly.
Serve hot. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Can use ground beef or chicken or turkey
- This is a great use for leftover gravy. Need gravy? Make my homemade recipe
- The amount of stock you use will depend on how thick your gravy is. My leftover gravy recipe is very thick and needs to be diluted a bit. Use up to ½ cup stock if needed. You want the mixture to be thick but not as thin as stew.
- You can use beef, chicken, vegetable stock or water
- Use any flavor gravy
- Use any kind of vegetables – frozen or leftover
- Low carb? Use caulitots!
