Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, stirring occasionally, until browned and crumbly, about 7 to 10 minutes.
Stir in the condensed cream of mushroom soup and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Transfer the beef mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Layer the frozen tater tots on top of the beef mixture.
Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the tater tots.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and the casserole is hot.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
