How To Make bonanza casserole

  • Step 1
    In a large skillet cook the onion until tender & translucent. Add the chopped garlic & cook 1 minute more. Add the ground beef & cook over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain the mixture & place into a large bowl & set aside. IF USING THINLY SLICED FILET MIGNONS: Cook them 1st before anything else goes in skillet & cook, 1 minute each side, then add them in step 2.
  • Step 2
    In a small bowl combine the ranch mixes, soup, milk & sour cream. Whisk until smooth. Add to hamburger mixture & stir to combine. Add corn & 2 C cheddar cheese. Gently mix to combine.
  • Step 3
    Grease a 9" x 13" baking dish. Layer 1/2 the Tater Tots on the bottom, pour the hamburger mixture over the top & then layer with the other 1/2 the Tater Tots. Sprinkle with remaining 2 C cheese. Wrap with foil & refrigerate overnight.
  • Step 4
    Take out of refrigerator 1 hour before baking & bake at 350 degrees F 25 - 30 minutes, or until golden brown & crunchy.
