  2. Cook ground beef with diced onion in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
  3. Season the beef mixture with garlic powder, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Combine sour cream and cheddar cheese soup in a large bowl, stirring until smooth.
  5. Fold in the beef-onion mixture along with shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish. If using bacon, sprinkle slices on top.
  7. Arrange frozen tater tots in a single layer on top.
  8. Top with remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until tater tots are golden brown and cheese is bubbly. Let cool for 5 minutes.
