Bacon Cheeseburger Tater Tot Casserole

Bacon Cheeseburger Tater Tot Casserole

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup cooked bacon or bacon bits (approx. 8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled)
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1 package (32 oz) frozen tater tots
  • 1 can (10.75 oz) condensed cheddar cheese soup
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 small onion, diced (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook the Ground Beef:
    • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it is browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
    • If using onion, add the diced onion to the skillet when the beef is about halfway cooked. Continue cooking until the onion is soft and translucent.
    • Season the beef mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
    • Once the beef is cooked through, drain any excess fat.
  3. Combine Ingredients:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef (with onions if used), cooked bacon or bacon bits, condensed cheddar cheese soup, sour cream, and 1 cup of the grated cheddar cheese. Stir until well combined.
  4. Assemble the Casserole:
    • Spread the beef mixture evenly into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
    • Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the top of the beef mixture.
  5. Bake the Casserole:
    • Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Add the Cheese:
    • About 5 minutes before the casserole is done baking, remove it from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese over the top.
    • Return the casserole to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serve:
    • Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
