Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 bag (about 32 oz) frozen Tater Tots
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped green onions or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef or turkey over medium heat until browned. Add the chopped onions and cook until translucent. Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked meat with sour cream and cream of mushroom soup. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.
- Pour the meat mixture into a greased baking dish. Spread evenly. Top with shredded cheddar cheese. Arrange the frozen Tater Tots in a single layer over the cheese and sauce.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes, or until Tater Tots are golden and crispy. Broil for 2-3 minutes for extra crunch, if desired.
Notes
- For a healthier version, use lean meats and add vegetables like peppers or peas.
- You can swap Cheddar cheese for Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack for different flavors.
- Leftovers reheat well in the oven or microwave to maintain crispiness.
