Tater Tot Casserole with Ground Beef and Cheddar

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Step 1 of 7

    Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) with a rack in the middle.

  2. Step 2 of 7

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into small crumbles with a spoon, until no pink remains and the pieces are browned, 7-10 minutes. If more than about 2 tablespoons of fat pools in the pan, spoon it off.

  3. Step 3 of 7

    Stir in the condensed soup, salt and pepper until no streaks of soup remain, then taste and add more salt only if needed.

  4. Step 4 of 7

    Spread the beef mixture in an even layer in a 2-quart baking dish, about 11 x 7 inches (28 x 18 cm).

  5. Step 5 of 7

    Arrange the frozen tater tots over the beef in one snug layer, then sprinkle the Cheddar evenly over the top.

  6. Step 6 of 7

    Bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes, until the tots are golden brown, the cheese is blistered and melted and the center of the beef layer reads at least 160°F (71°C). If the cheese browns before the tots do, tent the dish loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.

  7. Step 7 of 7

    Rest the dish for 5-10 minutes so the sauce thickens slightly, then spoon into 4 portions and serve hot.
