The comments are definitely entertaining. Golden mushroom soup over the tator tots. Its from a ND 40 year old recipe and I think its best. We all have our own ways, so comment away. Very funny.

Darn I wish I had some tater tots in the house, it's 6 miles to the grocery store, but after all the comments I'm beginning to think it's worth it.

wow...hardcore.....I dont know about cubed..shredded...or actual tater tots.... but I am going to use french fries for my tater tot casserole. Sounds deeee-lish !

My husband loves tater or tator tots? I buy a bag every few years. You BETTER BELIEVE I'll buy a bag this week just to try this recipe out. Like the idea of adding hamburger. The comments are way too funny. What a great commercial!

better with tots and no meat...

Loved the comments! Haha. And I love this dish - I like to add parm. cheese and chopped luncheon ham personally...it's an inexpensive but delightful addition. :]

I'll never make tot casserole without lol again!

Love the comments. I would recommend also adding green beans. I grew up eating tater tot casserole with cream of mushroom green beans and hamburger!! Yum yum ; )

I've never heard of this recipe and can't wait to try! Btw, these comments literally had me laughin' out loud.

The True Tater Tot Casserole
Layer (in a deep dish)
1. Meatballs
2. Cream of Mushroom Soup (or cheddar soup)
3. French Style Green Beans
4. Sliced Cheese (deluxe or velveeta-one that melts well)
5. then finally, the Tots :) (or whatever frozen potatoes are available to you)
Cook 1 hour (or until cheese is melted and meatballs a heated through) cover first 30min, uncovered last 30 min to give the potatoes a crispy brown yummyness
~~~~ serve with or w/o ketchup as a topping/dipper

I have never made the recipe like it is, I put the hamburger and green beans and mushroom soup mixed together put in pan and then a layer of cheese slices and tator tots on top. I have never seen so many comments about a recipe. I have just printed this one off and am going to try it out, it sounds good. Thanks

I add 8 oz. of french onion chip dip. Adds a little zing! Try it it's good. NO MEAT!!

What a blast! I thought I would see what this Tater Tot recipe was like. Mine is much easier. Layer 1 lb. (raw) ground beef on bottom of 9x11 dish. Slice 1 sm. onion, layer on top of (raw) beef, then layer 1 can cream of chicken and 1 can cream of celery over onions. Cover with 1 bag of Tater Tots. Bake at 350°F for 1 hour... I found it in an old, old, old cookbook, it was called Raw Hamburger Casserole. I'm pretty sure it is the original Tater Tot Casserole.... How funny.

I love me some tater tot caserole, easy to make and feels the whole family. Thats some down home cookin right here now.

Oh my Goddess, folks its a recipe, a guideline not a law written in stone, you find a recipe that looks good and try it if not satisfied with the results then change it up next time around or find another recipe, no big deal eh?
