Tater Tot Casserole

Source: here, via Pinterest

Ingredients:
1 1/2 - 2 lbs. ground beef or ground turkey (I used more like 3/4 lb ground beef)
1/2 onion, diced (I threw in the whole onion because we love onions)
1 - 32 oz package ore ida crispy crowns or tater tots (I just used store brand tots - cheap and tasty enough)
1 - 10 oz can cream of mushroom soup
1 - 8 oz container sour cream or light sour cream (I just used a healthy spoonful from a 1 lb package - not quite half, so not quite 8 oz)
1 cup milk (I didn't really measure my milk, but I poured it into the empty soup can about halfway or a bit more full)
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
pepper, to taste
seasoned salt, to taste
garlic salt, to taste

Directions:
Brown ground beef and diced onions, adding, pepper, seasoning salt and garlic salt to taste. Drain.

Pour ground beef & onion mixture into the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole dish. In a separate bowl mix together the soup, sour cream and milk.

Pour the soup mixture over on top of the ground beef layer spread evenly to cover the meat mixture. Top with tater tots, sprinkle with grated cheese over the entire casserole.

Bake at 350 degrees uncovered for 30 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly and cheese is completely melted.

Notes:
Now this isn't going to win any health-food awards.  But if you're looking for comfort food, this sure hits the spot.  We all really liked it - Cal wasn't a huge fan of eating it with her hands for some reason (usually she's all about the finger food) but when I spoon fed it to her, she gobbled it right up.
