Make this classic, comforting tater tot casserole using ground beef and a creamy cheese sauce. It is a simple, one-dish meal perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 bag (32 oz) frozen tater tots

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Brown the ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the drained beef mixture, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.
  4. Spread the meat mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the meat layer.
  6. Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the cheese.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute one can of soup with cream of cheddar cheese soup.
  • If you prefer a crispier topping, bake the casserole uncovered for the entire time.
  • You can substitute ground turkey for the ground beef if desired.
