Tater Tot Casserole
Description
This classic Tater Tot Casserole begins with ground beef cooked together with diced sweet onion, lightly seasoned with salt and pepper to build a hearty base. Cream of mushroom soup is stirred in along with canned green beans to add moisture and a mild earthy flavor, creating a well-balanced filling.
Frozen tater tots are layered on top of the beef mixture, providing a crispy, browned crust once baked. The casserole is finished with shredded cheddar cheese sprinkled over the top, which melts and adds a creamy, sharp contrast to the crunchy tots. Baking at 350°F until the tater tots are golden completes the dish.
The texture contrasts between the crispy topping and the soft, flavorful filling make this casserole a popular comfort food. It’s a convenient and straightforward meal that can easily be doubled for larger gatherings or meal prep.
