Quick Tater Tot Casserole with Ground Beef is a comforting classic that combines savory ground beef, a creamy mushroom sauce, and crispy tater tots, making it a family favorite for busy weeknights or potlucks.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 can (10.75 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 bag (32 ounces) frozen tater tots
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined. Pour into the skillet and mix everything together.
  3. Pour the mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish. Arrange the tater tots in a single layer over the beef mixture. Optionally, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking.
  • Bake uncovered for extra crispy tater tots.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese.
  • Add vegetables for added nutrition and flavor.
  • Adjust seasonings to enhance flavor profiles.
