Quick and easy casserole everyone will love.

Tatertot Casserole

beef

salt black pepper

(10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup

Cheddar cheese

(16 ounce) package frozen tater tots

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).


Cook and stir ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until no longer pink and completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes; season with salt and black pepper. Stir cream of mushroom soup into the cooked ground beef; pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer tater tots evenly over the ground beef mixture; top with Cheddar cheese.


Bake until tater tots are golden brown and hot, 30 to 45 minutes.


Pretty tasty stuff. I did my own thing with it though. While browning the  beef I seasoned it with onion powder, garlic powder, freshly ground black pepper, and a smidge of salt. I chopped up one small onion, and after draining the beef I mixed the beef, cream of mushroom soup, and chopped onions together and let them simmer a bit. Then poured the mixture into a 10x10 casserole dish. I added sharp cheddar. Then put the tots on, then added triple cheddar shredded cheese on top of the tots. My family loved it including my 2 year old who typically doesn't eat beef!

This popped up this a.m. and remiinded me of how long it's been since I'd fixed this quick & delicious casserole.  Versatile...turkey, beef, pork, lamb meats, tomato or cream based soups work, add a layer of grean beans, carrots or corn and you have a complete meal.  Vary the spices & it's a new casserole each time you make it.   Thanks barryzimm for bringing back one of our faves.

I love this recipie. My family has used it for years. It is something thay you can even make the day before and put in your fridge. I do add a few things though, after i brown my hamburger I add fresh or canned mushrooms as well as some frozen vegetables. You can add what ever you want. I usually add corn and peas. I also put some cheese under the tatertots and a little on top of the tater tots. This allows them to get crispy.

I run a kitchen in a nursing home. We made this recipe this week for our residents. It was such a hit everyone came back for seconds and thirds!!!! Staff and family members had me print the recipe so they could make it home. I had my cook use Lawry's instead of salt plus we cooked the burger with fresh onions, mushrooms & garlic. I'm making it for my family tonight??

I have used this recipe for years.   It was a favorite of one of the ladies in our church and always appeared at pot-lucks.   
Nick----it may not be the "nuevo cuisine" you are probably use to eating---but as a former home economist, it definitely isn't trash cooking.   Most families and kids love it and it certainly is an economical dish to prepare.  Serve it with a green salad or green veggies if the nutrition level upsets you.

I love this recipe and my son loves it too one of his favorite dishes!!! My grandma made this for me growing up and still love it to this day i make it a little different tho but like i said tastes great i brown 1 to 1 1/2 lbs ground beef with onions(optional) drain grease from meat (& onions if use) then i take a can of cream of mushroom soup, a can of either french style cut green beans or reg.cut green beans (drained) and mix together then add to beef and layer on bottom of 9×13 pan then sprinkle a small layer of shredded cheddar cheese then i add a layer of tater tots and then i add more shredded cheese on top bake in 350° oven for about 30-35 min or until cheese is bubbling then sprinkle(cover)top with french's french fried onions and put back in oven until fried onions are crispy take out and enjoy!!!!!

I add a packet of dry french onion  soup mix and a can of French style green beans. Love this!

the only thing i changed was i prefer it with peppers and onions (they make everything better though, dont they?)

This casserole hits on all the comfort classics.
