Cooking Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 375F and move the rack to the top third of the oven.
• Add the beef and onions to a skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally and breaking the beef up with your spoon, until browned and onions are softened (about 7-8 minutes). If there's excess fat, spoon most of it out.
• Add the garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and Italian seasoning to the skillet and cook for about a minute.
• Reduce heat to medium and stir in the sour cream, condensed soup, corn, and about a ½ cup of the cheddar. Stir well and let heat through for a minute or two.
• Transfer the skillet mixture to a 9×13 casserole dish and smooth in an even layer. Optional: if using a large oven-safe skillet, make the casserole entirely in the skillet.
• Sprinkle the casserole with the rest of the cheese, then top with the tater tots.
• Bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes or until tater tots are nicely browned and cheese is hot and bubbly. Serve with chopped scallions and salt & pepper if needed.
