I add grated cheese on top of meat and soup. I then crumble fried onions on top along with the tots. I also use chicken instead of beef for a good change. I cook the chicken in a little olive oil and then cube it.

I made this today for 30 child care kids. I made 6 times the recipe and it was GONE!! They loved it! I added the green beans.

My hubby loves this dish but i used chicken breast instead and add cheese and broccoli.... Its very good

I've been making this for at least 30 years. My original recipe called for 1/2 envelope of onion soup mix sprinkled over the bottom of a 9 x 13, top with clumps of uncooked ground beef, spread cream of mushroom soup over beef and top with tater tots. My children called it "Dog Food". :)

Made this tonight and hubby thought it was great. Almost licked the plate! He is terribly picky and it's hard to get him to eat anything like a casserole, with different flavors mixed in together... I would make it again but add a whole package of frozen veggies and two cans of soup. Can't wait for summer when I can use my own veggies. Broccoli florets would also be nice... anyway, a great comfort food recipe for cold winter evenings!

Although I have tried many variations for this casserole: my favorite is with 2 lbs hamburger, 2 cans of cream of celery soup, 2 cans of vegall mixed vegetables , put a layer of shredded cheese and cover with tater tots in 9 x 13 glass pan at 350 for 45 to an hour. Always yummy! sticks to the ribs!

My family loves TTC! I brown the beef with onions and layer that in the bottom of a deep pot 5 or 6 quarts. Then I put a layer probably 3-4 tots deep and then put another chopped onion over the tots then use one large can of cream of mushroom soup over that. Then I use a regular size of FROZEN peas then I use alot of cheese over that. Cover and bake until hot. Yummo!

Try a few dollops of cream cheese in it - gives it a rich and creamy texture. YUM!!

I've had this many times, but we call it moose turd pie. But we don't put onions in it, use cream of mushroom soup, and a layer of green beans

When I make this dish I do it in layers. I use cream of mushroom and cream of celery and sometimes cream of chicken. I put a layer of tator tots, then a layer of soups, then a layer of mixed shredded cheese. Then I start the layer over. Pop it in the oven till the cheese is good a melted. My kids love it! Serve with hot dogs or hamburgers.

I used turkey meat, added 1/2 tbsp. Italian seasoning to browning meat, then mixed one can cream of chicken and herb and a can of cream of mushroom and a can of condensed milk poured over the top of browner turkey meat and tater tots then added a few tot to the top for crunch. Serve with a veggie side and you have your selves Yummy dinner and even lunch the next day. Enjoy!

Great recipe without any change. I did add some Palo Alto Fire Fighters Pepper Sauce when it was out of the oven, which was excellent.

Used 1/2 lb of ground turkey and 1/2 pound of breakfast sausage, topped with fresh zucchini, cream of mushroom soup and Greek yogurt mixed together and then the tater tots with cheese on top of that. Very good.

Great recipe!! I added french style green beans over the cream of celery soup before topping with tater tots. Excellent for preparing ahead and leaving in fridge to cook next day.

I have been making this dish for 11 years. 1st the cooked meat, I use large can of cream of mushroom, large can of corn, large can of green beans layering it then add tots cover in cheeses.. After its baked my kids eat it with ketchup!
