Tater Tot Casserole

MMMM. Look at that-potatoes and gooey melted cheese. How can you go wrong?
I love casseroles because they are so easy to make and always a hit with my kids.
I use McCormick Steak Seasoning anytime I use ground beef in a recipe.
It gives the meat a nice flavor without being overpowering.
Be sure to completely defrost the tater tots before you assemble the casserole.

1-1 1/2 lbs of ground beef
2 cans of Campbells Golden Mushroom soup
8oz of sour cream
McCormick Steak Seasoning
1 package of tater tots or tater tot crowns-defrosted
Cheese-1-2 cups of shredded or 5 slices of American Cheese torn up

Preheat oven to 350. Cook the ground beef in a large pan and add a few sprinkles of the McCormick Steak Seasoning as it cooks. Drain grease from beef if necessary. Give the cooked beef a taste and add more steak seasoning if you wish. Add the soup and sour cream to the beef and cook over medium heat for a few minutes until the mixture is warmed through. In a 9x13 pan, layer the beef mixture, 1/2 of the tater tots, cheese and then repeat layers. Bake for 30-40 min and enjoy!

To defrost the tater tots- defrost in the fridge 24 hours before making the dish or thaw in the microwave before preparing dish
