A delicious and hearty casserole featuring tater tots, ground beef, and a cheesy, creamy sauce.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture for your casserole.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
For added flavor, you can sauté the beef with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until softened.
Cooking the onions and garlic enhances their sweetness and aroma.
Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
Use a whisk for a smoother sauce consistency.
Spread the beef mixture evenly in a baking dish. Top with the canned corn.
Ensure the beef layer is evenly spread for consistent baking.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture.
This layer adds a creamy texture to the casserole.
Arrange the tater tots on top in a single layer.
For a crispier topping, make sure the tater tots are not overlapping.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Covering the dish helps the flavors meld together.
Remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes.
Baking uncovered allows the cheese to melt and the tater tots to crisp up.
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Allowing the casserole to rest makes it easier to serve.
