Ingredients: 

• 1 pound Briarpatch Farms Angus ground beef 

• 1 small onion, diced 

• 2 cloves garlic, minced 

• 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup 

• ½ cup sour cream 

• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)

• Optional: sliced green onions or parsley for garnish 

Directions: 

Brown the beef: In a large skillet, cook the Briarpatch Farms Angus ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add onion and garlic; cook until softened. Drain any excess fat. 

Mix the filling: Stir in cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded cheese, salt, and pepper. Combine until smooth and creamy. 

Assemble: Spread the beef mixture evenly into a greased 9x13 baking dish. Arrange tater tots on top in a single layer. 

Bake: Bake at 375°F for 35–40 minutes, until tots are golden and crispy. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top during the last 5 minutes of baking. 

Serve: Garnish with green onions or parsley and serve warm.
