This cheeseburger casserole with Tator Tots was my favorite dish my mom made while I was growing up, and now it is my husband's favorite. With crisp Tater Tots and ooey-gooey Cheddar cheese, how can you go wrong?

Ingredients

1 large onion, chopped into 1-inch pieces
butter-flavored cooking spray (such as Pam®)
2 pounds ground beef
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed golden mushroom soup (such as Campbell's®)
3 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 (32 ounce) package frozen bite-size potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots®)

Directions

Place onion in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with water. Microwave on high until soft, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
Cook and stir ground beef in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
Transfer beef to the prepared casserole dish and spread onion pieces evenly over top. Spread soup over onions and sprinkle Cheddar cheese evenly over soup. Layer frozen potato nuggets in rows on cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Lightly spray potato nuggets with cooking spray, and bake until cooked through and crunchy, about 10 minutes more.

Tips

If you like a very strong onion flavor, keep the onions raw when placing them into the casserole.

The casserole is prettiest when you lay one row of horizontal Tater Tots and then one row of vertical Tater Tots, and continue that pattern all the way across the casserole dish.

You don't have to bake this immediately. You can make it ahead of time and refrigerate it overnight. the next day, just pull it out and bake it for the recommended 30 minutes.
