Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 3 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
• 1 (32 ounce) package frozen bite-size potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots®)
• butter-flavored cooking spray (such as Pam®)
• 1 large onion, chopped into 1-inch pieces
• 2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed golden mushroom soup (such as Campbell's®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

Cook and stir ground beef in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.

Step 3

Place onion in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with water. Microwave on high until soft, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain.

Step 4

Transfer beef to the prepared casserole dish and spread onion pieces evenly over top. Spread soup over onions and sprinkle Cheddar cheese evenly over soup. Layer frozen potato nuggets in rows on cheese.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Lightly spray potato nuggets with cooking spray, and bake until cooked through and crunchy, about 10 minutes more.
