Tater Tot Casserole Ground Beef: Need ideas for easy dinner casserole recipes? This Cheeseburger Casserole recipe is a comfort food classic. 

Looking for a hearty dinner recipe that’s inexpensive and easy to make? This cheeseburger casserole is one of our family favorites. It’s one of those meals I like to use as a backup plan on those days when I have no idea what to cook for dinner. This one is always a hit because it’s hearty enough to satisfy my hungry boys with plenty of cheesy potatoes we all devour.

Tater Tot Casserole: Ground Beef

Through the years, I found lots of tater tot casseroles with ground beef and even other meat varieties. But for us, we like this one the best. And though I sometimes add a little Worcestershire sauce or sautéed onion for extra flavor, my family loves it either way.

When you are making a tater tot casserole with ground beef, make sure to use extra lean ground beef to keep it from being as greasy and double the meat–adding 2 lbs. of ground beef–to create a better balance between the meat and potatoes to give it a heartier taste, too.

Ingredients

2 lbs. extra lean ground beef
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 large bag of frozen tater tots
1 cup of grated cheddar cheese
1 cup of grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 lb. bacon, cooked and crumbled
3-4 green onions, chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Press ground beef into the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish.
In separate bowl, mix mushroom soup with 1/2 can of water until smooth.
Pour evenly over the meat.
Add the cheese.
Spread tater tots evenly over the mixture to make a nice crusty top.
Secure with foil and bake for an hour.
Remove foil and bake for another 10 -15 minutes until tots are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the bacon and onions. Enjoy!

One of the best sides to this meal is a buttered biscuit or warmed dinner roll. After all, what’s a cheeseburger casserole recipe without the bun? Think of it as the quick serve of a drive-thru meal mixed with the comforts of home.
