I use cream of mushroom instead. I also use kraft shredded easy melts cheese for the top. It is simple and easy yet satisfying!

i myself was raised on this recipe, i use hamburger, cream of mushroom, peas and velveeta cheese. very very yummy

I add tomato soup to the ground meat, then a layer of drained corn, and the taters on top. Big hit in my house! I did like the sound of adding manwich to the ground beef, I will try this next time.

I do a can of cream of mushroom soup and a can of drained corn.. 1 lb of ground beef (browned) and then I put that in a small casserole dish and put the tater tots on top.. Its so good. I add salt and pepper and onion powder too!

I used greenpeppers instead of onion and manwich sauce instead of soup. I hope its good, it sure looked good when I put it in the oven. Will let you know!!

I use the cream chick & mushroom that comes in the same can...sometimes I use the roasted garlic cream of mushroom (yum). I never layer it either, I mix it all together meat, soup, onions & some milk. Topped with cheese!

Just made this for a quick dinner as I was otherwise uninspired. This was NOT a hit. It was way greasy and somewhat salty. Kids would not even try it. If I ever make this again, I might try to add green beans or something to bulk it up a bit.

i do one onion chopped and pound to 2 pounds of ground meat a can of cream of celery and chicken mixed frozen veggies brown meat and onion put on bottom of casserole dish then layer of frozen mixed veggies then combine two soups and a lil milk add on top of veggises then layer tator tots then bake. Mmm so good.

Also turkey is a great substitute for the beef...GREAT recipe!!

We always use cream of mushroom soup and green beans instead of onions.... Thanks for clarifying about the 1/2 can of water because it is me and my wifes first time cooking it and no one specified about water...

Didn't have cream of chicken in house, trying mushroom should still be good. If not I'll let you know!
