Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat if needed.
Add the Rotel tomatoes, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through.
Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and evenly mixed.
Transfer the beef mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the beef mixture.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese on top and return to the oven for 5-10 minutes, until cheese is melted.
Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
