- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

- 1 teaspoon salt

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Step 3
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the onion softens.
Step 4
Stir in the can of cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix well and let simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is well combined.
Step 5
Spread the beef mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Step 6
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture.
Step 7
Arrange the tater tots in a single layer over the cheese, covering the entire surface of the casserole.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tater tots.
Step 9
Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tater tots are golden and crispy.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
