Description
Craving a comforting, indulgent casserole that combines the flavors of a juicy cheeseburger with the crispy goodness of tater tots? Look no further than the Loaded Cheeseburger Tater Tot Bake!
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 bag frozen tater tots
Instructions
1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large skillet or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Once the beef is fully cooked, add the chopped onions and sauté until they’re soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the ketchup and mustard, then remove the pan from the heat.
2. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or casserole pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter. Spread the cooked ground beef mixture in an even layer in the prepared dish.
3. Next, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the ground beef. Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer, covering the cheese completely.
4. Place the Loaded Cheeseburger Tater Tot Bake in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on the casserole to ensure the tater tots don’t overcook.
Notes
For the best texture and flavor, opt for high-quality, crispy tater tots. Avoid any that are overly processed or soggy, as they may not hold up well during baking.
Loaded Cheeseburger Tater Tot Bake is a great make-ahead meal. Assemble the casserole, cover it with foil or plastic wrap, and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking.
