Cowboy Casserole
Description
The Cowboy Casserole begins by browning ground beef and combining it with corn, cream of mushroom soup, milk, sour cream, onion powder, black pepper, half of the shredded cheddar, and crumbled bacon. This mixture creates a creamy, savory base with tender beef and sweet corn. Layered in a casserole dish, the beef mixture is topped with tater tots arranged in a single layer, which bake into a crisp golden crust.
After baking uncovered for 40-45 minutes to cook through and crisp the tater tots, the casserole is sprinkled with the remaining cheddar cheese and baked again briefly. The finish melts the cheese over the top, balancing the crispy texture beneath. This flexible dish is satisfying and provides a combination of creamy, cheesy, and crispy textures.
Ideal for weeknight dinners, the casserole can be prepared ahead and simply baked when ready to eat. The use of common pantry ingredients and minimal preparation steps make it accessible and filling.
