Ingredients
- 1 large onion, chopped into 2.5 cm pieces
- vegetable oil cooking spray
- 2 pounds (900 g) ground beef
- 2 cans (305 g each) condensed mushroom soup
- 3 cups (360 g) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- 1 package (900 g) frozen bite-size potato nuggets
Instructions
- Put the chopped onion into a microwave-safe bowl, add water to cover, and microwave on high until it becomes tender, which should take about 7 to 8 minutes. Drain the water afterward.
- Set your oven to preheat at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with a layer of vegetable oil cooking spray.
- In a large nonstick frying pan, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat, stirring until it is browned and breaks apart easily, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Drain the excess fat and discard it.
- Move the cooked beef to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Distribute the softened onion pieces over the beef. Pour the mushroom soup over the onions, then sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese evenly on top. Arrange the frozen potato nuggets in rows over the cheese layer.
- Place the dish in the oven that is already heated and bake for 20 minutes. Lightly coat the potato nuggets with cooking spray, then continue baking until they are fully cooked and crispy, about an additional 10 minutes.
Notes
- Consider using seasoned ground beef or adding herbs and spices for extra flavor.
- Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a healthier option.
- Customize by adding bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach to boost nutrition.
