Equipment
- Large skillet
- Large baking dish (9×13 inches works great)
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon or spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef lean
- 1 medium Onion chopped
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 cans 10 oz each Cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese shredded
- 32 oz Tater tots
- To taste Salt
- To taste Pepper
Instructions
Preparation of the Meat Layer
- In your skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until it’s nicely cooked. Add the chopped onion halfway through and cook until soft.
- Drain any excess fat and stir in garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Remove from heat and mix in the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream until well combined.
Assembling the Casserole
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread the beef mixture evenly at the bottom of your greased baking dish.
- Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef.
- Arrange the tater tots neatly on top, covering the cheese.
Baking the Casserole
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
- Take out the casserole and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. This helps everything set up nicely.
Notes
- For a lighter version, consider using low-fat versions of sour cream and cream of mushroom soup.
- Feel free to add a layer of mixed vegetables between the beef and cheese for a balanced meal.
- If you like a bit of a kick, a dash of paprika or chili powder goes wonderfully with this dish.
