Description

A comforting, cheesy tater tot casserole made with seasoned ground beef, Rotel tomatoes, and a crispy golden top of baked tater tots.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 can (10 oz) Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 bag (32 oz) frozen tater tots
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and onion is soft. Drain excess fat.
  3. Stir in the drained Rotel, cream of mushroom soup, and sour cream. Mix until well combined and heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Spread the beef mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef layer.
  6. Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top.
  7. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the casserole and return to oven for 5-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for ground beef.
