Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
• 32 ounces frozen tater tots
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 as needed cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set it aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

While the beef cooks, finely chop the onion. Add the onion to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then stir in the cream of mushroom soup, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through.

Step 6

Transfer the beef and soup mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.

Step 7

Arrange the frozen tater tots in an even layer over the beef mixture.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the tater tots.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy, and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your easy tater tot casserole!
