Ingredients (7)

For safe meat preparation, reference the USDA website.

Steps (4)

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease an 8 or 9-inch baking dish with butter, oil or cooking spray and set aside.

  2. 2

    In a nonstick pan set over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and ground beef and brown the meat, breaking up with a wooden spoon as you go. When the meat is almost cooked through, add the seasoning mix and stir until well-combined.

  3. 3

    Spread the ground beef mixture in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with cream of mushroom soup, followed by the cheese and tater tots.

  4. 4

    Bake the casserole for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the tater tots are crisp and golden and the cheese is melted. If desired, garnish with scallions and serve hot.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Fairly gross It was edible but barely. You have to have the palette of a 5 year old to fully enjoy this, imo, or if you are an absolute tater to fanatic. Maybe with ground sausage instead of ground beef, it would be better. Not the best.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Added flavor for taters I bought tater tots like I do from time to time. I've run out of ideas to add flavor to the plain old tots. This recipe checked all the boxes-one dish, ground beef, HVR and canned soup. This was easy to come together. Added a buttered biscuit to complete the meal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Taterr Tot Deluxe I couldn't find tater tots during the food shortages but did find something called tater crowns and used those. I think they were crispier than the tots. Loved the addition of the soup which made for a creamy sauce!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Dope as heck Threw this together on a work-at-home lunch break. Easy as heck to make and super tasty. Replaces the more complicated tater tot casserole recipe I learned from the fam growing up.

Date published: 2020-11-03
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Delicious This is delicious, but not the easiest of the recipes offered here. The first time I made it, I used homemade tots and it made the casserole very soggy. Stick with frozen. Everyone loves the crunch top, but the underside can get a bit mushy, use a dark pan that gets very hot to help crisp the bottom.
