Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 bag (32 oz) Tater tots
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 Yellow onion, diced
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 3 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 can Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Season the beef mixture with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, and milk until smooth.
Spread the cooked beef and onion mixture evenly as the first layer in the baking dish.
Pour the soup mixture over the beef layer, spreading it evenly to form the second layer.
Sprinkle 2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese on top to create the third layer.
Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the cheese to form the top layer (fourth layer).
Bake the casserole uncovered in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
After 35 minutes, sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the tater tots.
Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your 1 2 3 4 Tater Tot Casserole!
