Ingredients
- 8 Jumbo (3 1/2-inch) foil baking cup (remove paper separators)
- 1 pound Lean ground beef
- 1 Medium onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 tablespoon Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

- 1 1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar cheese (about 6 ounces)

Instructions
-
Heat the oven to 425°F. While the oven is heating, line 8 (3 1/2-inch) muffin-pan cups with the baking cups.
-
Season the beef as desired. Cook the beef and onion in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until the beef is well browned, stirring often to separate meat.
-
Stir the ketchup, Worcestershire, soup, 1 cup cheese, and 1 cup potato nuggets in the skillet. Spoon about 1/2 cup beef mixture into each muffin-pan cup. Top with the remaining potato nuggets, pressing them into the top of the beef mixture.
-
Bake for 20 minutes or until the potato nuggets are golden brown. Let the mini casseroles cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
