Preheat your oven according to the tater tot bag instructions.

In a large, oven-proof skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat and season with salt and pepper. Drain and set aside.

Reduce heat to medium and melt butter in the skillet. Add mushrooms and shallots, seasoning with salt and pepper. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened.

Add garlic and sauté for an additional minute.

Sprinkle flour into the skillet and whisk until combined; cook for 1 minute.

Gradually pour in chicken broth and milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.

Stir in tamari or soy sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and smoked paprika. Increase heat slightly until bubbling, then simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Remove from heat and mix in the ground beef.

Arrange tater tots on top of the mixture.

Bake according to tater tot bag instructions, placing the skillet on a baking sheet.

Allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving.
