One of our favorite family meals is Tater Tot Casserole. This dish is perfect for kids and adults, I loved it and so did my toddler! Although, tater tots may not be the healthiest of options it is a nice meal to have a ‘fast food’ dish at home. I like to add veggies to ours just to give it an extra boost!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 Bag of Frozen Tater Tots (1 lb, I had a 2 lb bag)
- 1 lb Cooked Ground Beef
- 1 Can Cream of Mushroom
- 1/2 Cup Frozen Peas, thawed
- 1/2 Cup Frozen Corn, thawed
- 1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400*.
In a large bowl, mix the cooked beef, soup, peas, and corn. Then, pour this into a greased 9×13 casserole dish. Top the mixture with a layer of tater tots. This dish will bake for 20 minutes, then remove and add 1 cup of shredded cheese to the top, place back in the oven for additional 5 minutes or until cheese melts.
This is a one dish meal, which are dishes I love! It makes it perfect for young kids to get a serving of veggies!
Happy Eating!

Have you cooked this recipe from frozen before? I would like to know if I can do this one ahead of time and freeze it for later.
Yes, I have many times I make double and freeze an extra one. Here is the post with the chili cheese tater tot casserole and it talks about freezing it. http://www.mommyhatescooking.com/2011/03/chili-cheese-tater-tot-casserole.html
can u make this with real potatos too?
I have not tried it that way, but I would imagine you could.
I would have to cut them up in little bite sizes then boil them to make it a little softer huh? I work for a homeless shelter and were limited on the food supply so I thought about the real potatos
Yeah, I would say cut them up then maybe fry them if you can in some oil to give it like the crust taste of a tater tot.
yay, thanku
ill make this tomorrow for their dinner, I serve about 20-30 people for dinner..thank u for.the tips
