Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent. Drain any excess grease.

- Spread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
- Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the cheese, covering the entire surface of the casserole.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy, and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and a dollop of sour cream if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting goodness of Victory’s Tater Tot Casserole!
