Creating Tater Tot Casserole is easy when you follow these clear steps:

1. Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
2. Cook the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and then the chopped onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Add meat: Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned. Remember to break it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
4. Season the meat: Stir in garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly and then remove from heat.
5. Combine soups: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soups. Mix well.
6. Add the meat: Fold the browned beef and onion mixture into the soup mixture until well blended.
7. Layer the casserole: Spread the beef and soup mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
8. Add cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the beef layer.
9. Top with tater tots: Arrange the frozen tater tots on top of the cheese layer in a single layer.
10. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
11. Cool and serve: Once cooked, allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving.
