Ingredients:

1 (26 oz) bag frozen meatballs (homestyle or Italian)

1 (32 oz) bag frozen tater tots

1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup

1 cup sour cream

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and 1 cup of shredded cheese.

Step 3: Layer the Ingredients

Spread the frozen meatballs evenly across the bottom of the baking dish. Spoon the creamy mixture over the meatballs and gently spread it out. Arrange the frozen tater tots on top in a single layer.

Step 4: Add Cheese and Bake

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese on top. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Step 5: Uncover and Crisp the Tots

Remove the foil and bake for another 15–20 minutes until the tater tots are crispy and golden, and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley or green onions if desired.
