Beef Tatertot Casserole (Cowboy Casserole)

Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped or dried chopped onions
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2-1 can (15.25oz) whole kernel corn, drained
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
8 slices cooked crumbled bacon or 6-8 TBS Bacon bits
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup milk
4 tablespoons sour cream
1 bag (30 oz) frozen tater tots (I used Ore-Ida Crispy Crowns)

Directions:
let the Crispy Crowns sit on the counter to defrost for an hour or so. If you don't have time then I like to cook the tatertots while browning the beef.

In a large skillet cook the onion until tender and translucent. Add the chopped garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add the beef and cook over medium heat until no longer pink. Add corn and bacon bits until they are warm. Combine the soup, milk and sour cream. Add 1 cup of cheddar cheese. Gently mix to combine.

Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer half of the Crispy Crowns on the bottom, pour the hamburger mixture over the top and then layer with the other half of the Crispy Crowns. I just have the tatertots on the bottom. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese and bake at 350 for 25 - 30 minutes, or until golden brown and crunchy.
