Tater Tot Casserole

This is a yummy and easy recipe and VERY kid friendly...in fact, I don't think I've ever met a child who didn't like it! :-)

1.5lbs ground beef
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 12oz can cream of mushroom soup
1 1/2 cups medium cheddar cheese
1 bag tater tots

Spice to taste:
salt
pepper
garlic salt

Brown ground beef, season and add onions

Put ground beef in a 9x9 pan

Add cream of mushroom soup and 3/4 cup cheese

Cover with layer of tater tots

Sprinkle remaining cheese

Bake according to tater tot instructions. When complete, I like to broil for a few mins to make my tater tots nice and crunchy.


Remove from oven and let set for five mins. Serves 4. This also freezes up great! I usually make two at once, one for dinner, one for the freezer. :-)

My kids love this one! I use onion soup mix and a little bit of flour instead of the cream of mushroom soup and add in frozen veggies to the meat.

OOOH!! I'll have to try your way Julee!! That sounds great! I can't put the veggies in it cause Josh is REALLY picky about the veggies he will eat...but I LOVE the idea of using onion soup mix!

I am so excited I came upon this blog. I love getting new recipe ideas. I make the same thing, only I add a can of green beans to the meat mixture. It's a family favorite.
