  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

A comforting and nostalgic Tater Tot Casserole with a savory beef filling, creamy soup, and crispy tater tots on top.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 bag (32 oz) frozen tater tots
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional seasonings: garlic powder, paprika, or any favorite spices

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Once it’s well-cooked, add the diced onions and continue to cook until they soften. Season with salt, pepper, and any optional spices like garlic powder or paprika. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream until well combined. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
  4. Grease a casserole dish and spread the beef mixture evenly across the bottom.
  5. Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture.
  6. Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the cheese.
  7. Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden and crispy.
  8. Remove the casserole from the oven and top with the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

This casserole can be served with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables. For an extra kick, serve with salsa or hot sauce. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
