Cook Beef: In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain any excess fat. Stir in the barbecue sauce, salt, and pepper to blend well.
Assemble Casserole: In a greased baking dish, start by spreading the beef mixture evenly. Layer with crumbled bacon, followed by chopped onions. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously on top.
Add Tater Tots: Carefully place tater tots in a single layer over the cheese to cover the casserole completely.
Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the casserole for 25-30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden and crispy and the cheese has melted beautifully.
Serve: Dish out the casserole hot, and enjoy the delightful meld of cheeseburger flavors baked into one hearty meal.
