Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté 1 diced onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Add 1 cup of diced bell peppers and 1 cup of frozen corn to the skillet, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Season the mixture with 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, salt, and pepper to taste.
Pour in 1 cup of beef broth and bring to a simmer, allowing it to reduce slightly for about 5 minutes.
Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined. Transfer the beef and veggie mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Arrange 2 cups of frozen tater tots on top of the beef mixture in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor before serving.
