Instructions

Cook beef and diced onion in a large 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until beef is well browned, stirring to break up meat. Pour off any fat.
Stir condensed soup, milk, 1 cup cheese, salt and pepper, and Worcestershire Sauce into the skillet. Spoon beef mixture into an 11x9-inch shallow baking dish. Arrange potatoes in a single layer on top of the meat mixture and top with remaining cup of cheese.
Bake at 425 degrees F (218 degrees C) for 25 minutes or until potatoes are crisp and cheese is slightly brown.

Notes

You can make this meatless by omitting the ground beef.

MEAT: Drain the fat off the meat after you brown it. This will prevent the casserole from becoming too runny when baked. You can use ground turkey instead of ground beef if you like.
SOUP: Using Campbell's Cream of Chicken or Celery soup, whatever you have in your pantry, also works great in this recipe.
TATER TOTS: No need to defrost the tater tots before baking them.
VEGETABLES: Depending on what I have on hand, I throw in some frozen peas, corn, broccoli, or green beans. Any type of mixed frozen vegetables works.
MAKE AHEAD: You can make this cheesy tater tot casserole recipe a day ahead, cover it tightly so it doesn't dry out, and store it in the fridge until ready to bake. Note - You must increase the cooking time by 5-10 minutes since the dish is cold.
STORAGE: Store leftovers in an airtight container (or covered in plastic wrap or aluminum foil) in the fridge for 3-4 days.
