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®)

Instructions

Soften the chopped onion by microwaving it in a water-filled bowl for 7-8 minutes. Drain the water completely.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Brown the ground beef in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, breaking it into crumbles. Drain off any excess grease.
Transfer the cooked beef to the prepared casserole dish. Distribute the softened onion evenly over the beef. Spread condensed soup over the onions, then sprinkle Cheddar cheese evenly. Arrange frozen tater tots in rows on top of the cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Lightly spray the tater tots with cooking spray to help them crisp. Continue baking until the tots are golden brown and crunchy, about 10 minutes more.
