Tater Tot Casserole

1 (2 lb) bag tater tots
1 lb ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 (8 oz.) container sour cream
1 cup milk
2 cups shredded cheese

Cook tater tots according to package directions. Change oven to 350 degrees. Brown ground beef with chopped onion and season with salt and pepper. In a bowl combine sour cream, cream of mushroom soup and milk. Mix together until well blended.

In a casserole dish, cover the bottom of the dish with a layer of tater tots. I use a potato masher to mash them just a bit and then spread a thin layer of the sour cream mixture. Next add all of the meat. Then pour the rest of the sour cream mixture on top of the meat and spread to cover. Use about 1 cup of cheese for the next layer. Top the casserole with cooked tater tots. Sprinkle left over cheese over the top of tater tots.

Cover dish with foil and cook for 30 minutes or until heated through. Uncover and place under the oven broiler for a couple minutes to crisp up the tater tots.
