Tuesdays Recipe - Tater Tot Casserole

If your looking for an easy dinner try this.  There are two ways to make it and both are delicious.  The ingredients are the same just made a little differently.

Tater Tot Casserole

1 pkg Tater tots

1 Can Cream of Mushroom Soup

3/4 - 1 lb ground beef.

Grated cheese

1st way:  Brown the burger then mix in the cream of mushroom soup.

Add a little water so not so thick.

Put in greased 9x13 pan.

Layer tater tots on top of meat mixture.  Grate cheese on top.

Bake for 20 minutes at 350.

2nd way:  Do not brown burger.  Spread out on bottom of 9x13.

Chop an onion and mix with the Cream of mushroom soup.  Pour mixture on top of burger.

Salt and pepper.  You can add green beans or corn at this point.

Layer the tater tots on top and grate cheese on top.

Bake at 350 or 375 for 40-60 minutes or until burger is done and tater tots are cooked.

Either way tastes really good.  I started making it the second way so I didn't have to brown the burger first.  You can also shred cheese under and over the tater tots.  I say 350 or 375  because I haven't fine tuned it yet.  Basically you cook it until the burger is cooked and the tater tots are done.

You can eat this as an entire meal or as a main course and cook other vegetables as the sides.  Hope you enjoy.  If you try it and like it let me know.
