  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

  • ½ cup milk

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.

  2. Cook the Beef
    In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.

  3. Make the Filling
    Stir the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper into the cooked beef until well combined.

  4. Assemble the Casserole
    Spread the beef mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Layer the drained corn on top, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.

  5. Add the Tater Tots
    Arrange the frozen tater tots evenly over the cheese layer.

  6. Bake
    Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until the tater tots are crispy and golden brown.

  7. Serve
    Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!

Notes

  • Add diced bell peppers, onions, or jalapeños for extra flavor.

  • Swap cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken if preferred.

  • For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2–3 minutes.

  • This dish can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake.
