Brown ground beef with dried minced onion and drain.
Place ground beef and onion mixture in the bottom of a 2.5 quart slow cooker.
Mix together your water and brown gravy mix in a small bowl or cup and pour over beef mixture.
Spread tater tots across the top of everything.
Cover and cook on high for 2 hours, rotating insert halfway through cooking if your crock pot does not cook evenly.
If crispier tots are desired and insert is broiler safe, place insert in oven with the broiler on high for 2 to 3 minutes. Do NOT walk away while broiling. Watch the casserole continually until the tots have reached desired browning and crispness.

As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
