Instructions
Creating your own Cheeseburger Tater Tot Casserole is easy with this simple guide:
1. Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Season the Mixture: Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard, and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
4. Add Beef Broth: Pour in the beef broth, letting the mixture simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Layer the Casserole: In a greased 9×13 casserole dish, spread the beef mixture evenly over the bottom.
6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the beef layer.
7. Top with Tater Tots: Arrange frozen tater tots on top of the cheese, covering the entire surface.
8. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
9. Serve Hot: Once fully cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with sliced pickles, if desired.
