Tater Tot Casserole {Recipe}

Tater Tot Casserole

Makes enough for small army. {Since the ingredients are practically impossible to halve, I like to reserve half (before baking) into a Tupperware that gets popped into the freezer for later. Don’t worry, even with half there is still plenty for leftovers.}

Ingredients

1 lb ground hamburger {we prefer ground turkey but it does have less flavor}

1 onion, chopped {leave these pretty large}

1 (16 oz.) package frozen tater tots

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 cup cheddar cheese {or more}

Make It 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Brown hamburger with onion, drain excess fatty fat

Combine hamburger and onion with remaining ingredients {use the biggest bowl you’ve got}

Pour into large casserole dish

Bake 20 minutes or until tater tots are golden

Enjoy!

Notes:

While delicious, this casserole requires mass amounts of ketchup and hot sauce (Tabasco, Tapatio) of choice.

I’ve made it with the cheese mixed in and cheese just on top. Trust me, mix the cheese in and then add some to the top if you please. It adds tons of flavor and a more creamy consistency when mixed in.
