A delightful casserole featuring crispy tater tots, gooey cheese, and savory ground beef, perfect for cozy dinners and family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 bag (32 oz) frozen tater tots
  • Optional toppings: pepperoni, olives, bell pepper, green onions, or mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease your baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease.
  3. Add the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and let simmer for a couple of minutes.
  4. Spread the beef and sauce mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the mixture.
  5. Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the cheese and beef mixture. Sprinkle the remaining cup of cheese over the tater tots.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the tater tots are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
  7. Add optional toppings if desired and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
