In a large skillet brown the ground beef along with the onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce cook until just pink, add in chopped zucchini and cook just till beef is no longer pink.  Drain grease if necessary.

Now while this mixture cooks I pop my tater tots in the oven for about 10-15 minutes to crisp up nice.

In a large bowl mix together the beef mixture with the sour cream, 2 cans of soup, corn, and 1 cup of the shredded cheese. 

Spread the beef mixture into the prepared pan.  Top with an even layer of tater tots and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, until tater tots are brown and the casserole is bubbling.

Top the Casserole with the remaining shredded cheese and bake for 5 minutes longer until cheese is melted. Then when you take it out of the oven drizzle white queso cheese over all, top with sliced green onions or chives, you can also add olives, tomatoes, more fresh onions or anything you like, Make em dirty and delicious.
