It’s super easy to make and made completely from scratch with no canned soups! Don’t worry though you can still substitute in a can of cream soup of your choice if you prefer. You could also bake this in the oven like a traditional tater tot casserole and I will give instructions for that as well.
I used my traditional tater tot casserole recipe and added in a hefty dose of bacon and cheddar cheese. Because bacon and cheese makes everything better, right?! And as I mentioned earlier I didn’t use canned soups in this tater tot casserole. It really isn’t that much harder to make a homemade gravy. Plus, I can pronounce everything that goes into it. Don’t worry it won’t be lumpy either.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 10 strips bacon diced

- 3 cups cheddar cheese plus a little extra for topping if desired

- 1/4 cup sour cream

- 1 2 pound bag frozen tater tots
Instruction
- In a large skillet brown ground beef, bacon, onion and garlic over medium heat until beef is no longer pink. Sprinkle the flour over the ground beef and stir well to combine.
