Ingredients

  • 2 lbs lean ground beef
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 packet (1 oz) Italian dressing mix
  • 7 cups frozen tater tots

Instructions

Step 1: Brown the Beef

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and return the beef to the skillet.

Step 2: Make It Creamy

Add the softened cream cheese, cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, melted butter, and Italian dressing mix to the skillet. Stir until smooth and creamy. Let the mixture simmer on low for 5 minutes, allowing all the flavors to come together.

Step 3: Assemble the Casserole

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish. Spread the creamy beef mixture evenly into the bottom of the dish.

Step 4: Add Tater Tots

Layer the frozen tater tots evenly over the beef mixture, making sure they are in a single layer for even crisping.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy. For extra crispiness, bake a few minutes longer. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Serve warm on its own, or pair with a side salad, steamed veggies, or garlic bread for a comforting, well-rounded meal.
