Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 6 hot dogs, sliced into bite-sized pieces

Main Ingredients

  • 1 bag (32 oz) frozen tater tots
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

Sauce

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F to ensure it’s ready for baking the casserole evenly.
  2. Make Sauce Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
  3. Add Hot Dogs and Cheese: Stir in the sliced hot dogs and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese into the sauce mixture. Mix everything evenly to coat the hot dogs with the creamy mixture.
  4. Assemble Casserole: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish, then pour the hot dog and sauce mixture into the dish. Spread it out evenly to form an even layer.
  5. Top with Tater Tots: Place the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the sauce mixture, covering the surface completely.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes until the tater tots are crispy and golden brown on top.
  7. Add Extra Cheese: Remove the casserole from the oven, sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tater tots, then return to the oven for another 5–7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Rest and Garnish: Let the casserole sit for 5 minutes after baking to set, then garnish with chopped green onions if desired before serving.

Notes

  • For added flavor, use smoked hot dogs or substitute with sausage.
