Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1 cup sour cream

1 cup milk

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon mustard

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 package (32 oz) frozen tater tots

Optional toppings: chopped green onions, pickles, or additional cheese

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.

      Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef, sautéing until the onion is translucent.

        In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream, milk, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and black pepper.

          In a large baking dish, layer half of the cooked beef mixture evenly across the bottom.

            Sprinkle half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top of the beef layer.

              Pour half of the sour cream mixture over the cheese layer.

                Add a layer of tater tots on top, spreading them out evenly.

                  Repeat the layering process: add the remaining beef, cheese, and sour cream mixture, then top with the leftover tater tots.

                    Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

                      After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.

                        Once finished, remove from the oven and let sit for about 5 minutes before serving. Top with optional toppings according to your taste.
