Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon mustard (yellow or Dijon)

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cheddar cheese soup

1 cup milk

1 bag (32 oz) frozen tater tots

¼ cup dill pickles, diced (optional)

Chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef along with the diced onion until the beef is browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat.

      Add Flavor: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Then mix in the Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.

        Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the cheddar cheese soup and milk. Stir until smooth and creamy. Add in half of the cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese, mixing well.

          Combine Ingredients: In a baking dish, spread the cooked beef mixture evenly. Pour the cheese mixture over the beef, spreading it out to cover fully.

            Add Tater Tots: Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the cheese mixture.

              Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.

                Final Touch: Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                  Serve: Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with diced dill pickles and chopped green onions, if desired.
