Slow Cooker Tater Tot Casserole

beef

flour

chicken broth

herb and garlic seasoning (or favorite seasoning blend)

salt

heavy cream

mixed veggies

tater tots

oz shredded cheese

In a large skillet brown ground beef over medium high heat until fully cooked and no pink remains and drain any fat

Add flour and stir to coat all beef evenly with flour

Slowly add broth while continuing to stir to ensure no lumps form from flour

Add seasonings and bring mixture up to a slow boil and then reduce to a simmer

Let simmer for about 5-7 minutes until broth thickens to coat the spoon

Stir in the cream and continue to simmer for another 3-5 minutes to let everything thicken to the texture of cream soup

Add veggies and stir to combine evenly

Spray slow cooker with nonstick spray

Add meat mixture

Top with tater tots and cheese

Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8

I got the gist of this recipe from a text message sent from my Minnesotan-born buddy Mandu. I hope it does her proud.

Hotdish is classic Minnesotan fare, composed of a few thrifty ingredients in one dish and all baked up, and I'm having my very  first taste. This version is topped with golden tater tots and held together with cream of mushroom soup. Big thanks to Mandu (and Mandu's mom) for the inspiration. 🙏🏼

The Best Tater Tot Casserole? My First Minnesotan Hotdish | Thrifty Meals

This Cowboy Casserole from Delish.com is hearty enough to feed the hungriest of cowboys. 

Cowboy Casserole

onion, chopped

garlic cloves,

chili powder

cumin

c. frozen corn, defrosted

c. canned diced tomatoes

sour cream

kosher salt

black pepper

bags (16 oz) frozen tater tots

tbsp. Chopped parsley, for garnish

Preheat oven to 375°. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions and cook until soft and slightly translucent. Next, add beef. When it is no longer pink, drain some of the fat and push meat and onions to outer edge of skillet. Add, garlic, chili powder and cumin. Stir and cook until garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Add corn, tomatoes, sour cream and 1 cup cheese. Cook, stirring regularly, until cheese is melted and sour cream is incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.

Pour mixture into a 9x13 baking dish. Top with tater tots and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and tater tots are golden. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Added taco seasoning to beef and some leftover rice, bean and beef enchilada filling. It was delicious. Also cooked a little longer than what it called for. I like my tots nice and crisp. Next time, I'll add the cheese to the top after my tots have browned.

This was good! I used Rotel tomatoes instead of diced, canned corn instead of frozen and jacked up the heat to 425 for the last 10 minutes plus 5 more since the tater tots weren't done enough. For some odd reason my shredded cheddar didn't melt on top, but it was delicious anyway.

Great recipe.  I don’t keep sour cream on hand and substituted it with 1/3 C ranch dressing!  It was delicious ***** try some jalepenos and Rotel for a kick.

It's good as a basic recipe. I use Rotel instead of canned tomatoes, and taco seasoning on the meat.

My 10 yr old loves it and she hates any food mixed together and this is one if her favorites!! Mine too!! Hubby adds more sour cream and hot sauce.

Took the advice of other reviews and used taco seasoning to prepare the meat. I also added a can of diced green chili’s and it came out perfectly delicious!

Substitute the hamburger with ground sausage and it's delicious.

Use taco meat as substitution for ground beef -DELISH!

This Casserole Uses Tator Tots In the Most Genius Way

This is a delicious and easy Whole30 ground beef casserole recipe that is a healthy take on a big mac! The classic flavors you know and love, all baked together in a paleo, gluten free Big Mac casserole that's loaded with veggies. It's great for a family friendly weeknight meal, or for meal prep lunches for the week.

Big Mac Casserole: Whole30, Paleo, Gluten-Free

lb beef

white onion, diced

russet potatoes, diced (about 4 cups)

tomatoes,

green pepper, seeds and stem removed and diced

dill pickles

tbsp white sesame seeds

cup homemade Special Sauce

romaine lettuce

white onion, dill pickles, sesame seeds, diced tomatoes, extra drizzle of Special Sauce

Add the diced white onion and ground beef into a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until the onion is translucent and the beef is browned. While it&#8217;s cooking, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F., and add the diced potatoes, diced green pepper, chopped pickles and diced tomatoes into a large casserole dish

When the ground beef and onion mixture is done, drain well to remove the grease. Return it to the pan and then stir in the Special Sauce. Add it to the casserole dish with the veggies

Next, add the sesame seeds, and then stir everything together to combine the meat with the vegetables. Make sure the casserole is arranged in an even layer in the dish and then cover with foil

Place in the oven and bake for 1 hour, or until the potatoes are able to be pierced with a fork

Remove from the oven and top with your burger toppings and additional Special Sauce

I've been on the Whole30 diet for a few weeks now and this is by far one of my favorite meals! The whole family loved it. I'm hoping to make a casserole for my sister's family but she is a vegetarian. Would using a fake meat substitute effect the outcome of the recipe too much? Thanks!

My fiance and I were shocked at how much this legit tastes like a freakin big mac - it's the special sauce for me :) It was a bit watery so next time i'll make sure to drain the potatoes really well but we'll definitely make again.

I've been on the Whole30 for a few months now and this is definitely my favorite thing I've been able to eat. My whole family loved it. Thanks!

This is INCREDIBLE- and tastes just like a Big Mac- so yummy!! Thanks Bailey:)

This is a family favorite! Thank you for another delicious recipe.

This tastes just like a Big Mac from McDonald’s!! Do not wait to make this. This is my second time making it and this is now a weekly staple. The only thing different i do than what the recipe calls for is I make this all right on the stovetop, not in the oven and it comes out perfect. Highly recommend!!!
