COWBOY CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cowboy Casserole adapted from a recipe at Taste of Home 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (I used 80/20) 1 medium onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, chopped 1 can (15.25oz) whole kernel corn, drained 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded 1/2 cup milk 4 tablespoons sour cream 1 bag (30 oz) frozen tater tots (I used Ore-Ida Crispy Crowns) Before I got ready to make this casserole, I let the Crispy Crowns sit on the counter to defrost for an hour or so.
