Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375

Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef

• In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Add the diced onions or use powder and cook until they soften, about 3-4 minutes. Season with all spices. Drain any excess fat from the beef. Use paper towel back

Step 3: Combine with Cream Sauce

• Stir in the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream, mixing well with the beef. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the mixture to heat through.

Step 4: Layer in the Casserole Dish

• Grease a casserole dish and spread the beef mixture evenly across the bottom.

Step 5: Add Cheese Layer

• Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture.

Step 6: Add Tater Tots

• Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the cheese, covering the entire surface.

Step 7: Bake the Casserole

• Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden and crispy.

Step 8: Final Cheese Layer

• Remove the casserole from the oven and top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Return it to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9: Serve

• Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
