Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef 2 lb if using a large casserole dish or have big eaters (double seasonings for meat)

Let's Make It
- Preheat oven: 400°F and lightly grease your baking dish.
- Cook beef: In a large skillet, brown beef and onion together until the beef is cooked through. Drain any extra fat. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

- Assemble: Spread the beef mixture evenly into the baking dish.
- Top: Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top and arrange tater tots in a single, even layer.
- Bake: Bake 20–25 minutes until the tots are crispy and the cheese is bubbly.
- Serve: Top with extra pickles, green onions or my homemade burger sauce for that true cheeseburger flavor.
