This is wonderful.. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time thanks... I've used this recipe before and added crumbled corn flakes on top (mixed with a little butter,)...O.K.. O.K... Don't laugh too much... it does add a little crunch that we like.. as a matter of fact, my son now serves it with CK crumbs at his resturant and it's a hit.

I like to add Fiesta Nacho Cheese Soup and a can of Rotel diced tomatoes & green chilies to the browned hamburger and onion, pour over the tater tots and cover with more tater tots. Then I serve with a dollop of sour cream, shredded lettuce and crushed Doritos Late Night chips. Yummy !!!

Bacon and potatoes, who knew? :-) Try throwing in a bag of thawed and drained mixed veggies. Yum...oh, and meat is required as are tater tots at my house! :-)

I added crumbled Bacon...OMG!!!

Tater tot hot dish sour cream, cream of chix, cream of celery, cream of mushroom, rice, hamburger, onion, frozen tater tots. Thats how ya do it. Yummy!!

I use cut up chicken in it. YUM

I have a better idea. Since my boyfriend hates mushrooms I used cream of broccoli instead. I also added canned or frozen green beans, ground beef, and mozzarella cheese, with a twist of special seasons (secret).

Debbie from Maine? You said your husband loves tater tot and that you buy a bag every few years? My, aren't you the considerate one. *laughing*

i came across this recipe, and this was just so funny and fun....

VERY easy to follow, very quick to make, and very tasty. Fried my own onions though, also melted some cheese on top. It's very rich and filling, you don't really need the meat (I was skeptical too). Next time I think I'll add some green onions to the mixture.

Good stuff without meat, not a big deal anyway. I am allergic to beef.

Wheres is the ground beef lol

I have never seen so many comments on a recipe...let alone a tator tot recipe...who knew they were so popular..lol

I don't cook hardly but I learned how to cook this from my mom and I love it. I like to cook the easy things and this is very easy. I love tator tot casserole and how easy it is. To make it even easier to make, put the mushroom soup in first then the tator tots and push the tator tots down into the soup so it is even.

This site made my day. My son in law loves this casserole and he contends that the grease from the meat combines with the tater tots and that is what makes it comfort food.

We have for years made it with raw meat on the bottom topped with cheddar cheese soup and then corn and then tater tots. Know this is full of carbs but there are some guys like my son in law that only eat corn as his veg of choice. It is comfort food. But no tater tots is like macaroni and cheese and no cheese. And yes, I would make a heart healty version but when you want comfort... this is the best.
