A simple, hearty casserole featuring seasoned ground beef, a creamy sauce, cheese, and a crispy tater tot topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon dried onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 bag (about 32 ounces) frozen tater tots

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the ground beef and chopped onion in a large skillet over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir the cream of mushroom soup, milk, onion powder, pepper, and salt into the skillet with the beef mixture. Heat through for about 2 minutes.
  4. Spread the beef mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef layer.
  6. Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the cheese and meat mixture.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken soup.
  • You can add 1/2 cup of frozen mixed vegetables (like peas and carrots) to the meat mixture before baking.
  • For extra crispiness, place the tater tots in the oven for 10 minutes before adding them to the casserole.
