For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a packet of dry ranch dressing mix to the ground beef while cooking. Feel free to substitute other cheeses, such as Colby Jack or a blend of Cheddar and Monterey Jack. If you prefer a crispier tater tot topping, broil the casserole for the last 1-2 minutes of baking, keeping a close eye on it to prevent burning.

Follow The Directions
01
StepMicrowave the chopped onion in a microwave-safe bowl with water for 7-8 minutes until softened. Drain well. (Prep time: ~10 minutes)
02
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter-flavored cooking spray. (Prep time: ~5 minutes)
03
StepIn a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes until no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease. (Cook time: ~10 minutes)
04
StepTransfer the cooked ground beef to the prepared casserole dish. Spread the softened onion evenly over the beef, then top with the condensed golden mushroom soup. Sprinkle 2 cups of the shredded Cheddar cheese over the soup layer. Arrange the frozen potato nuggets in a single layer over the cheese. (Prep time: ~10 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Lightly spray the potato nuggets with butter-flavored cooking spray. Continue baking for another 10 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese over the top during the last 5 minutes of baking. (Bake time: ~30 minutes)
