  • Prep 20 min
  • Total 1 hr 10 min
  • Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 teaspoons Montreal steak grill seasoning
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of onion soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 bag (32 oz) Ore-Ida™ Tater Tots™ frozen potatoes
  • 4 slices cooked bacon, coarsely chopped
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (8 oz)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  • 2
    In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef and onion over medium-high heat 7 to 9 minutes, stirring frequently, until brown; drain, and return to skillet. Stir in seasoning, soup and sour cream; stir to blend completely.
  • 3
    Place half of the frozen potatoes in single layer in baking dish. Spoon beef mixture on top. Top with half of the chopped bacon, 1 cup of the Cheddar cheese, the remaining frozen potatoes, then remaining 1 cup cheese.
  • 4
    Bake 40 minutes; top with remaining chopped bacon. Bake 5 to 10 minutes or until casserole edges are bubbly and potatoes are lightly browned. Sprinkle with green onions.

  • Take the time to cook up Applewood smoked sliced bacon. Cut the slices crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces and cook them up in the 10-inch skillet until crisp. Scoop out the pieces of bacon and drain them well on paper towels. Then brown the beef and onion in the same skillet.
  • For a truly loaded dish, offer a dish of more sour cream that’s mixed with a little hot sauce to spoon onto each serving.
  • Cream of mushroom soup can be used in place of cream of onion soup in this recipe.
  • Using ground bison or ground turkey would make a good variation in this casserole.
