Tater Tot Casserole

Tater Tot Casserole

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef
1 1-pound package tater tots
2 10-ounce cans condensed cream of mushroom soup (or 3 cans if you want it extra creamy)
1 or 2 14-ounce cans vegetables (whole-kernel corn, green beans, etc.)
Onion and garlic powder (optional)



Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
While the oven is preheating, brown the ground beef (seasoning to taste as you cook) and drain off the grease.
Spread the beef in the bottom of a 2- to 2½-quart baking dish.
Drain the liquid off the vegetables and spread them over the meat.
Using a rubber spatula, spread the cans of soup over the top of the vegetables and meat. Use the soup as is, straight from the can. Do not mix it with anything.
Arrange a layer of tater tots over the top of that.
Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.

    1. Exactly... And cheese isn't even in the ingredients either... I don't make mine with veggies... But I miss everything together and layer tater tots, meat and soup mixed, later if cheese and then repeat!

  6. I make my tater tot casserole with 1 pound of velveeta cheese. I add that to the cream of mushroom soup and microwave it for 4 minutes so that the cheese melts. It makes a really good sauce to pour over the tater tots and ground beef.

  8. I am all for the taco meat. Also, putting green chili and perhaps a dollop or 2 of sour cream in the mushroom soup.

  12. I don't use veggies. I cook my meat, drain. Then I cook my soup mixed with a can of water till it comes to a boil and add it to the meat and let it cook a few minutes together , then put it in the pan. Add a layer of shredded cheese, a layer of ground up ritz crackers, then I use the Crowns instead of the fat tater tots. Mine is the best because the ritz crackers hold up the thin crowns. And cooking the meat and soup together first makes it taste so much better.
