Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Cook Meat and Onion: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef or ground turkey over medium heat until browned. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked meat and onion, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Add hot sauce to taste and mix well.

4. Assemble Casserole: Spread the meat mixture evenly in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the meat mixture.

5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.

6. Add Cheese: Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top. Return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7. Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
