1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 can cheddar cheese soup

1 cup sour cream

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 package frozen tater tots

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease.
  3. Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for a few minutes until softened.

  5. Pour the beef mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef mixture.
  7. Layer the frozen tater tots on top of the casserole, covering the entire surface.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden and crispy.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Ground turkey or chicken can be used for a lighter version.
  • For a vegetarian version, skip the meat and add extra veggies like mushrooms, bell peppers, and spinach.
  • If you like spice, add diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes.
  • Use different soups (like cream of chicken) to adjust the flavor.
  • Can be made ahead and baked later, or frozen for up to 3 months before baking.
