Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 32 ounces frozen tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set it aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
While the beef cooks, finely chop the onion. Add the onion to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until softened.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then stir in the cream of mushroom soup, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
Transfer the beef and soup mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
Arrange the frozen tater tots in an even layer over the beef mixture.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the tater tots.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy, and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your easy tater tot casserole!
