Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat & Cook Sausage
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet, sauté the ground sausage and diced onion over medium heat until the sausage is fully browned and the onions have softened. Drain any leftover grease.
Step 2: Mix the Filling
In a large bowl, stir together the cooked sausage mixture with shredded cheese, the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Step 3: Layer the Casserole
Spread the sausage-cheese mixture evenly across the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Arrange the frozen tater tots over the top in a single, even layer.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden and crisp.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes after baking, then serve hot and enjoy the cheesy, savory goodness.
