Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained (like Rotel)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 (32 ounce) bag frozen tater tots

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until cooked through. Drain off any excess grease.
  • Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cooked ground beef and onion, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, Rotel, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine everything thoroughly.
  • Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese into the beef mixture. Reserve the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese for topping later.
  • Pour the beef mixture into a lightly greased 6-quart slow cooker. Spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the beef mixture. Try to cover as much of the surface as possible.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours, or until the tater tots are golden brown and heated through.
  • During the last 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the tater tots. Cover and continue cooking until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
