Let’s look at the ingredients and the directions for cooking this soon to be family-favorite.
What You Will Need:
Cheeseburger tater tot casserole, all the ingredients are readily available in local grocery stores. These include bacon slices, onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, ground beef, cream of mushroom soup, milk, cheddar cheese, bite-size potato nuggets, salt, and pepper.
How to Make It:
Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While you wait, prepare a wide baking dish by greasing all interior surfaces. Set these aside for now.
Get a large skillet and put it on a stove at medium-high heat. Put a bit of oil to prevent sticking. Now cook your chopped onions, bell peppers, and bacon until you see that the meat has turned crispy and brown on all sides. Turn things over for even heat distribution. This step should take you around 10 minutes.
Next, add in the ground beef and stir things up. It should begin to turn from red to brown. After about six minutes, it will be cooked and slightly crumbly. This is your sign to add the creamy liquids: the milk and the mushroom soup. Mix everything until the liquid thickens and it starts to boil. Turn off the heat or the bubbles might rise and spill over to your stove.
Let things cool a bit and give yourself a break. Once you are ready, come back and transfer this mixture to the baking dish that you greased earlier. Keep everything even on this container. The oven should be hot enough by this time. Put the tater tots on top of the mixture. Follow this up with two cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
Now you are ready to place the baking dish in the oven. Bake this for about half an hour or until you see that the cheese is bubbly and brown. The tater tots should also turn golden from the heat. If you are in doubt, then you can also get a bit of the dish for a taste test. Take it out and serve to the family.
