Use a 1½-quart casserole dish to feed 4-6 or double the recipe for 2½-quart casserole to feed 8-12.
3/4 pound of ground beef
1/4 pound of mild ground pork sausage
1 small to medium yellow onion
Brown onion, beef, and sausage. Drain excess fat before placing meat into casserole dish. Mix in:
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
2-3 oz. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
If desired, cover with another 2-3 oz. of cheese.
Top the hotdish with frozen Tater Tots and bake at 350º F for 45-30 minutes. The hotdish will get bubbly and the Tater Tots will be golden brown when done. Serve with ketchup and steamed veggies. If you’d like a one-pot meal, you can also mix frozen veggies right in with the meat.
