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.

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

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!!!

Kickin’ Creole Tater Tot Casserole

chuck

onion,

ketchup

Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning, plus more for topping

mushroom soup

tomatoes

shredded pepper jack cheese

onion tater tots

Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Brown meat and onion together in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off fat.

Return meat to the skillet over low heat and add ketchup, Worcestershire, Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning, mushroom soup, and drained tomatoes and chilies. Stir to combine and allow to heat through. Spread evenly into the prepared dish. Top with pepper jack cheese.

Cover top of mixture with tater tots. Sprinkle a little more Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning over the top of the tots.

Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until tater tots are browned and heated through. (If the tots aren&#039;t cripsy to your liking, a few minutes under the broiler should crisp them right up.)

Ground Beef Chow Mein casserole is a popular classic Midwestern hot dish combining ground beef, rice, creamy soup, and seasonings, that is topped with Chow Mein noodles. It is easy to put together and a perfect comfort food to add to your dinner rotation for the family.

10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup

onion (diced)

celery (chopped)

water chestnuts (drained)

rice (uncooked)

water

soy sauce

oz chow mein noodles

Cook 1 lb of ground beef. Drain any excess grease. 

In a mixing bowl, mix ground beef, 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup, 10.5 oz cream of chicken mushroom soup,1 diced onion, 1 cup chopped celery, 8 oz chopped water chestnuts (drained), 1 cup uncooked rice, 1 ½ cup water, and 3 tbs soy sauce. 

Add mixture to a greased 9×13 baking dish.

Cover with tinfoil and bake at 350 for 1 ½ hours. 

Remove from oven and remove tinfoil.

Top with Chow Mein noodles and bake uncovered an additional 10 minutes.

I made this for a neighbor  pot luck,it was a Big Hit! Everyone loved it! I did add Chinese vegetables to it and a can of bean sprouts.

This was very delicious! Everyone loved it.

Family loves this old-fashioned reciepe.  I precook the rice and reduce the baking time to 45 minutes.

I use gluten free soy sauce and top this casserole with broken up gluten free pretzels bits. My gf family members really enjoy it.

I grew up in WI &amp; we always loved when mom made this. We usually double it &amp; have leftovers.

I did as the recipe called for but l trippled it . I added 1 lb beef, 1 lb ground pork , &amp;  1 lb ground turkey and l had a sm steak in my freezer l cooked till med-rare and sliced into bite size pieces &amp; added that with a lot of celery and white onion &amp; a can of baby corn diced up and a can of green beans.  My soups were cream Mushroom &amp;  cream of chicken and cream of celery. I used yellow rice which is typically a Spanish dish but it is flavored with chicken flavor and a 10 ozcan of warm water &amp; Asian rice noodles. While cooking and then add some more noodles after it comes out of thr oven . It's so so yummy 😋

I have made this several times &amp; we love it.  I do make a few modifications though.  Use 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce, 98% fat free versions of the soups, add a can of La Choy stir fry vegetables instead of the separate cans of water chestnuts &amp; bamboo shoots &amp; use either ground turkey or rotisserie chicken instead of hamburger.  I also add the chow mein noodles to each individual serving so they don't get soft on the leftovers.  Thanks for sharing 😊

I’ve made this casserole since the 1970’s.  Always loved it.  I never used water chestnuts but will from now on.  Add soy sauce at the table.  Green onions on top before serving.

Grew up eating this.  loved it..  I still enjoy making and eating it..

Is there a reason that you’re advising people to drain the more flavorful (than plain water) liquid out of the vegetables and discard that rather than use it in place of the plain water??

I love this recipe. I do use more soy sauce (1/4 cup of lower sodium) and also add the noodles at the table.

My mom always made this when we were growing up. It’s still one of my favorites. When I was a kid you could find mini egg rolls - they looked like pizza rolls and my mom put them on top like you do for tater tot hot dish. I wish they still made them. Also I serve the noodles on the side so they don’t get soggy for leftovers. Awesome recipe
