Ingredients
→ Main ingredients
½ pound ground beef (85/15 lean)
1 cup corn kernels
⅔ cup condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (divided)
⅓ cup whole milk
¼ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled
32 ounces frozen tater tots
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F and get a 9×13 inch baking dish ready.
Cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks until nicely browned and no pink remains.
Add corn, cream of mushroom soup, half the cheddar cheese, milk, sour cream, onion powder, black pepper, and crumbled bacon to the skillet. Stir everything together until well combined.
Spread the beef mixture evenly in your baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, then arrange the tater tots in a single layer over everything.
Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy on top.
Remove from oven and sprinkle any remaining cheese over the hot tater tots. Return to oven for 5 more minutes until cheese melts.
