How to Make Beef And Tater Tot Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spread half of the tater tots in an even layer.
  5. Pour the beef mixture evenly over the tater tots.
  6. Top with the remaining tater tots.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the shredded cheese and butter. Sprinkle evenly over the tater tots.
  8. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
