Method

Casserole Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef and Onions

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and chopped onion. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

  3. 3

    Mix Casserole Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef and onions, cream of mushroom soup, milk, 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.

  4. 4

    Layer Tater Tots

    In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, evenly spread the frozen tater tots at the bottom.

  5. 5

    Add Beef Mixture

    Pour the beef and cheese mixture over the tater tots, spreading it out evenly.

Baking and Serving

  1. 6

    Bake the Casserole

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbling and the tater tots are golden brown.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the additional cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  3. 8

    Garnish

    Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Cut into squares and enjoy!
