Ingredients

• 32 oz frozen tater tots
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 tsp paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is tender and translucent. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Stir in the can of cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined, then remove the skillet from heat.

Step 4

Spread the beef mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.

Step 5

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture.

Step 6

Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the cheese, covering the entire surface.

Step 7

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden and crispy.

Step 8

Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the tater tots. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Top the casserole with crumbled bacon and sliced green onions. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Loaded Baked Tater Tot Casserole!
