Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Slice the hot dogs into 1-inch pieces and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned baked beans, ketchup, mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Pour the baked bean mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Scatter the sliced hot dog pieces on top of the baked bean layer.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot dogs and beans.
Layer the frozen tater tots on top of the cheese in a single, even layer.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
Carefully remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
