Instructions
- 1. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat and add the chopped onion. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
- 2. Stir in BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
- 3. In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream and milk. Stir in the beef mixture and half of the crumbled bacon.
- 4. Spread the beef mixture evenly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Layer tater tots on top, and sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella over the tater tots.
- 5. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly, and tater tots are golden brown.
- 6. Once baked, sprinkle remaining crumbled bacon on top. Slice and serve hot.
