Cook and stir the ground beef, onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a skillet over medium heat until the beef is browned and crumbly, 7 to 10 minutes. Spread the beef in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
3

Stir the cream of mushroom soup, potato nuggets, and Cheddar cheese together in a large bowl until the potato nuggets are evenly coated with the soup and cheese. Spread the potato nugget mixture over the beef mixture.
