Tater Tot Casserole

from what i hear, this is an oldy but a goody.  this is my first time making it.  i added and changed a couple things from the recipe i saw.  Its easy, i can say that much.  i've heard it called both Tater Tot Casserole and White Trash Casserole.  you can call it whatever you want. lol

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef 

1/2 packet of  Lipton Onion Recipe Soup & Dip Mix  (optional)

1 onion, chopped
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 can corn, drained
Shredded cheese (you choose the kind, i used sharp cheddar)
Tater Tots
Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown beef and onion together then drain. (season up that beef so its not bland..unless you like bland.. i used Onion soup mix, but you can use season salt or taco seasoning, etc)

2. Spread beef mixture in bottom of a casserole dish. Layer soup, corn, cheese, and tater tots.You can add some cheese on top of the tots too if you want.

3. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour, until tater tots are golden brown.
