METHOD :
1- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9-by-13 casserole dish.
2- Preheat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, stirring regularly, for about 10 minutes. Drain and place in a large bowl.
3- While the beef is cooking, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until there are no lumps.
4- Allow the flour to cook out for about 2 or 3 minutes. Whisk in onion powder and garlic powder.
5- Slowly whisk in the milk, breaking up lumps. Season milk mixture with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 ground black pepper. Whisk and continue cooking over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
6- Add the tater tots, crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, sour cream and béchamel mixture to the bowl with the ground beef. Stir to mix all ingredients.
7- Pour the mixture into the baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the entire mixture is bubbly and the cheese has fully melted.
