Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of chicken soup
- 32 ounces Frozen tater tots
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium Onion (optional, diced)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook the beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles with a spatula as it cooks. If using onion, add it to the skillet and cook until softened.
Once the beef is cooked, drain any excess grease and return the meat to the skillet.
Add the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the skillet. Stir everything together until well combined.
Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Spread the beef and soup mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Top the beef layer with a single, even layer of frozen tater tots.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the tater tots.
Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
