Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 64 ounces Frozen tater tots
- 2 pounds Ground beef
- 1 large Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 cans (10.5 oz each) Condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 1 serving Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray and set it aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking apart clumps with a spatula (about 5-7 minutes). Drain off excess fat.
Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Season the mixture with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika. Stir well to combine.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Add the cooked beef mixture to the bowl with the sauce. Stir until evenly combined.
Transfer the beef and sauce mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the top of the beef mixture, covering the entire surface.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tater tots.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Carefully remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
