Learn how to make delicious Loaded Cheeseburger Tater Tot Casserole. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder (optional, for a touch of heat)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
1 bag (32 oz) frozen tater tots
Chopped green onions, for garnish
Crumbled cooked bacon, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. This takes about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and milk. Stir until smooth.
Layer the beef mixture at the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Pour the soup mixture over the beef.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef and soup layer.
Arrange the tater tots in a single layer over the cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and crumbled bacon, if using.
