Step-by-Step Instructions for Tater Tot Casserole

  • Cook the beef and onions: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef for about 5-7 minutes. Add diced onion and cook until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then drain excess grease.
  • Combine the creamy layer: Stir in cream of mushroom soup and frozen mixed vegetables. If using, add sour cream and mix well. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Assemble the casserole: Spread the mixture in a greased baking dish, sprinkle cheese, then arrange tater tots on top.
  • Bake to perfection: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 30-35 minutes until tater tots are golden brown.
  • Rest before serving: Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
