Ingredients

• 32 ounces frozen tater tots
• 2 cups ham
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1.5 cups milk
• 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
• 0.5 cups sour cream
• 1 onion, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Step 4

Add the sautéed onion, diced ham, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and half of the frozen tater tots to the bowl. Stir everything until evenly combined.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out into an even layer.

Step 6

Arrange the remaining tater tots on top of the mixture in a single layer, pressing them down gently.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tater tots.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tater tots are golden and crispy.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the casserole sit for 5 minutes to set. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
