Share this article:

Ingredients
1 (32 ounce) package frozen tater tots
1 pound ground beef
1 cup diced onion
3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons Montreal-style steak seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
cooking spray

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a 13×9-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.

2. Spread 20 tater tots in the casserole dish.

3. Bake in preheated oven until warmed through, about 10 minutes.

4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef and onion in the hot skillet until beef is completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Season beef mixture with 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, steak seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper.

5. Stir cream of mushroom soup, milk, 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce together in a bowl.

6. Smash the warmed tater tots in the casserole dish to cover the bottom completely. Spread ground beef mixture over the mashed potato nuggets. Pour soup mixture evenly over the beef layer. Top with remaining tater tots and sprinkle 1 cup Cheddar cheese evenly over the nuggets.

7. Bake in preheated oven until casserole is bubbly and potatoes are golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.
