Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and have a 9x13-inch baking dish ready for assembly.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef for about 7 to 10 minutes or until fully cooked.
  3. Stir in the condensed cream of mushroom soup. Season with salt and black pepper, mixing well.
  4. Transfer the beef and soup mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  5. Arrange the frozen tater tots over the beef mixture in a single layer.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the tater tots.
  7. Bake for about 30 to 45 minutes until the tater tots are golden brown and bubbling around the edges.
  8. Switch to broil for an additional minute or two for extra crispiness on top.
  9. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired.
