A comforting and delicious casserole featuring crispy tater tots, savory beef, and gooey cheese.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the casserole inside for even cooking.
In a skillet, cook the ground beef and diced onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Drain any excess fat.
Use a wooden spoon to break up the beef into small crumbles for even cooking.
Add the corn to the skillet and stir to combine.
Frozen corn can be used directly without thawing for convenience.
In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, 1.5 cups of shredded cheese, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
Whisk the mixture well to ensure the cheese is evenly distributed.
Pour the cheese sauce over the beef mixture in the skillet and stir to combine.
Ensure the sauce coats all the ingredients evenly for consistent flavor.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Use a spatula to level the surface for even topping distribution.
Arrange the tater tots on top of the mixture in a single layer. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the tater tots.
For a decorative touch, arrange the tater tots in a neat pattern.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes to crisp up the topping.
Check the casserole during the last few minutes to ensure the cheese doesn't over-brown.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your meal!
Allowing the casserole to rest helps the flavors meld and makes serving easier.
