• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Season the beef mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir to combine.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream. Stir until smooth.

Step 6

Add the cooked ground beef mixture to the bowl and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and spread the beef mixture evenly across the bottom.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Remove the casserole from the oven, top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and return it to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 12

Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your comforting Mildred S Casserole!
