Gather all your ingredients and set your oven to preheat at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Brown the ground beef, making sure it's fully crumbled and cooked through, about 7 to 10 minutes. Mix in the soup, adding salt and pepper to your liking.
Transfer your beef mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Top with tater tots evenly and finish with a sprinkle of Cheddar cheese.
Put the assembled dish in your preheated oven, baking until the tater tots turn golden and everything is heated through, about 30 to 45 minutes.
Pull the casserole from the oven and enjoy it hot!
