Tater Tot Bake

Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ onion, chopped
  • 16 oz tater tots or hash browns
  • Gravy [1]
  • 1½ c shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with the onion. Drain excess fat, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Spread the beef mixture evenly over the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish (aka a 9x9" pan). Arrange potatoes evenly over beef layer.
  4. Pour gravy over tater tot and beef. Sprinkle cheese evenly (and, let's be honest, liberally) over the top.
  5. Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and slightly brown.

[1] the original recipe called for one 10.5-oz can condensed cream of chicken soup and ½ c milk in place of the gravy. I was making it that way for a bit until I remembered that I think "cream of" soups are kind of gross, and also that I know how to make gravy. There was unanimous agreement that the version with the actual gravy was much better.
