Yummy-Cheesy-Tater-Tot Casserole!

Posted on October 11, 2011 by Stephanie

Last week we painted the dreaded basement!!!! This week we are exhausted. If we ever have to paint down there again, I think we will just put the house on the market and move! For-serious!!!

Anyhoo, since we were so busy last week, I made some quick dinners, one of which was Cheesy-Tater-Tot Casserole. I just love it! Tater-Tots are one of my faves, to say the least. If you love tater-tots you will love this recipe!

Cheesy-Tater-Tot Casserole

1 – 32 oz bag of frozen tater-tots

1 lb. ground beef – browned and drained

small onion – diced

2 cans cream of chicken soup (or mushroom soup, if you like)

1 can green beans

1 can corn

salt and pepper to taste

dash garlic powder

1 to 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (depending how cheesy you want to go.)

Pre-heat oven to 400°. After browning the ground beef, sauté onions in with the beef and drain. Combine beef, onion, soup, beans and corn in a large bowl. Add salt and pepper taste, and a dash or two of garlic powder. Mix well and spread mixture into a greased 9×13 baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese and top with tater-tots, arranging the tots to fit. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes until the tots are browned and the cheese is bubbly. We like ours with a little ketchup on the side.

Look at all that cheesy goodness! So de-lish!!!

Have a great week, all!

We have a family classic just like this! My husband hates it, I love it. And we love to pour the ketchup on it. Yum! Stopping by from Trendy Treehouse.

  Thanks Lauren. We have a couple of picky eaters who don’t like tater-tots either. I just say they are crazy!

Wow, this recipe looks both delicious and dangerous. I am a huge tatter tot fan so I will probably be forced to try this and I am not sure how much I’ll want to share. I like your pictures too.

I made this tonight! It was fantastic. I only altered the recipe a little. (No offense, I can’t just follow a recipe.) I added about a Tbsp. of chopped garlic and about a tsp. of Worchester sauce to the meat. YUM! Thanks so much for the recipe.

We LOVE tater tot casserole in our house — and we love to use cheddar cheese soup instead of cream of chicken (I have a 5 yr. old who LOVES chickens…and therefore will not EAT them!). It makes it super creamy and extra cheesy! Love your blog!

  Ohhh… I bet that is supper yummy! I will try the cheese soup instead of the chicken soup next time. Thanks for the tip, and thanks for visiting, Beth!

Made this for dinner this evening with the cream of mushroom variation. It was a hit! We are a family of 6 and it fed all of us! Very economical with using only 1 lb of ground beef. Love it! Thanks for sharing:)

Trying this for supper tonight. Simple question – do you drain the corn and green beans?

Thanks…..

  Yes, you drain them. Also, I used cream of mushroom soup instead of chicken. Hope your family enjoys it!

  Jan, like Kim said, you drain them before you mix them in. Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy!

Heather on April 16, 2012 at 5:36 pm said:

Oh my gosh! This looks great. A nice twist on Shepard’s Pie. I’m going to have to try it with some Morningstar Farm’s crumbles to make it vegetarian, and find something to switch the green beans out for since the hubs doesn’t like them. Any suggestions?

- Stephanie on April 16, 2012 at 9:39 pm said:
  
  Heather, you can try peas, or maybe even a can of mixed veggies (minus the green beans). Hope this helps! Thanks for stopping by!
