True that loves me some potater-dish hotdish! Good stuff!

Jay from the UK,
Why are we using canned and frozen food so much, you ask? You obviously aren't familiar with the American culture. If you spent a winter in the midwestern United States you might understand. If you're looking for healthy and fresh I wouldn't suggest Tater Tot Casserole, though. You don't have to eat it... but it works for us.

You forgot the green bean!

Read all the reviews and had many laughs. I tried the recipe with no hamburger, cream of onion soup, and added more shredded cheddar cheese. Love Love Love this casserole! I could almost hear my arteries hardening but it was very very good. Will be making this in the future, especially for pot luck dinners!

Thanks!!!!

I make mine with a half pound of browned and crumbled ground meat and topped with a bunch of cheese.

As for the heated debate, this casserole requires tots for texture, but it works very well with any other FROZEN potato. Fresh potatoes don't work as well.

The one I made today was for brunch. It had 1/2lb of ground sausage, a couple onions and peppers finely chopped and cooked with the meat. Mmm delish.

I tried 2 bunches of green onions chopped up instead of the onions listed. Really Yummy!!!

It was great. I used some lean hamburger and peas and carrots and 1 can cream of chicken soup and chopped onion..Dot with 2 tbsp butter... Yummy!

I like this Tater Tot recipe. It is good for any meal. When I fix it for lunch or dinner, I throw in a can of chili and top off the whole thing with some extra cheese! Yummy!!! :-)

This was very funny!! I'm orginally from California and have never had a tater tot casserole. =) Was looking up a recipe for my crockpot and this popped up. Love all the comments.

I have made many different variations there are no exact measurements you can wing it every time and it turns out wonderful. I have used hot peppers green peppers onions every type of frozen potatoes. So sometimes it was called potato casserole.The first time I saw this recipe it was called funeral casserole. Always tastes good

Anyone wanting a good chuckle needs to look up this recipe. Made my day! lol

I have enjoyed reading the comments. I also am an add the meat to it kind of person, I cook my meat with onion, garlic, after browned I add a can of french onion soup and let simmer and add a little cornstarch to thicken. I also fry my tator tots first, yummy!!

I prefer it without the hamburger meat. FYI McCain's Tater Tots are the best since they are very flavorful. Thanks for the recipe, very quick & easy and very yummy!!!! :)

This recipe gets me friends ;) I consistently substitute the sour cream for plain non fat yogurt because I prefer the taste. It is always a last minute thought and comprised of items in the fridge and cabinets. Convenient and tasty
