Sheree's Homemade Cooking Made Easy

This recipe is my version of the tater tot casserole that is out there. My family loves the version I came up with as it uses a cream of cheddar soup instead of the standard cream of mushroom. You will need the following ingredients:

In a large iron skillet, or oven safe skillet, add the onion, bell pepper and ground chuck and cook until the beef is browned.

Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the cheese over the top and add the tater tots and place this into the oven and bake for 30 minutes.

Carefully remove this from the oven and sprinke the other 1/2 cup of cheese over the top and place back into the oven for 5 minutes.

Note: You can make this in a casserole dish also, I just find that cooking it all in one skillet makes for much easier clean up. You add more cheese if you prefer.

I like to serve this with a dinner roll and a side salad on the side
