Crispy Tater Tot Bowl with Creamy Beef Gravy

Ingredients:
4 cups frozen tater tots
1 pound lean ground beef (instead of pork sausage)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon black pepper (for that speckled gravy look)
Salt, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:
Bake tater tots according to package directions until crispy and golden.
In a skillet, brown ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat and set beef aside.
In the same pan, melt butter. Whisk in flour to create a roux; cook 1–2 minutes.
Slowly whisk in milk, stirring constantly until smooth and thickened.
Season with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
Stir browned beef back into the creamy gravy.
Pile crispy tater tots into a bowl. Ladle creamy beef gravy generously over the top.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy that comfort-food magic!
