Tater Tot Cheeseburger Bake
  1. 1

    Put the onion in a microwave-safe bowl and cover it with water. Microwave on high until it softens, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.

  3. 3

    Cook and stir the ground beef in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard the grease.

  4. 4

    Move the beef to the prepared casserole dish and spread the onion pieces evenly on top. Spread the soup over the onions, then sprinkle the Cheddar cheese evenly over the soup. Arrange the frozen potato nuggets in rows on top of the cheese.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Lightly spray the potato nuggets with cooking spray, then bake until cooked through and crunchy, about 10 minutes more.
