Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 ounces frozen tater tots
- 2 cups ham
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1.5 cups milk
- 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Add the sautéed onion, diced ham, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and half of the frozen tater tots to the bowl. Stir everything until evenly combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out into an even layer.
Arrange the remaining tater tots on top of the mixture in a single layer, pressing them down gently.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tater tots.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tater tots are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole sit for 5 minutes to set. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
