Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it's browned and cooked through, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Step 7

Pour the mixture evenly into a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the mixture.

Step 9

Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the cheese, covering the surface completely.
