• 1 pound ground beef – This forms the hearty base of the dish. You can swap for ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
• 1 (10.5 oz.) can cream of mushroom soup – Adds creamy texture and flavor. Feel free to substitute with cream of chicken or celery if you prefer.
• 1 (28 or 32 oz.) bag of frozen tater tots – The star of the dish, providing that crispy top layer everyone loves.
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided – You’ll need cheese for the beef mixture and an extra sprinkle at the end for melty goodness.
• Salt and pepper, to taste – Season the beef to your liking.
