I love this site too. My Grandmother gave me her version of this recipe years ago. Brown a pound of hamburger, drain and add 1 can of cream of mushroom soup. Top with tater tots and bake to cook tater tots. It's a quick easy meal if you are in a hurry or you have no idea what to fix for dinner. Although I can't wait to try this recipe.

I always use tater tots then thaw them shred and cube them lol lol add can of nacho cheese, diced tomatoes, and top with French's onion straws. Bake in oven uncovered to crisp up.

Why are people using canned and frozen food so much? Are there no fresh ingredients around? Just a thought...

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.

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.

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

Wheres is the ground beef lol

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

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.

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

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 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).

I use cut up chicken in it. YUM
