Last week we painted the dreaded basement!!!! This week we are exhausted. If we ever have to paint down there again, I think we will just put the house on the market and move! For-serious!!! 😉
Anyhoo, since we were so busy last week, I made some quick dinners, one of which was Cheesy-Tater-Tot Casserole. I just love it! Tater-Tots are one of my faves, to say the least. If you love tater-tots you will love this recipe!
Cheesy-Tater-Tot Casserole
1 – 32 oz bag of frozen tater-tots
1 lb. ground beef – browned and drained
small onion – diced
2 cans cream of chicken soup (or mushroom soup, if you like)
1 can green beans
1 can corn
salt and pepper to taste
dash garlic powder
1 to 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (depending how cheesy you want to go.)
Pre-heat oven to 400°. After browning the ground beef, sauté onions in with the beef and drain. Combine beef, onion, soup, beans and corn in a large bowl. Add salt and pepper taste, and a dash or two of garlic powder. Mix well and spread mixture into a greased 9×13 baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese and top with tater-tots, arranging the tots to fit. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes until the tots are browned and the cheese is bubbly. We like ours with a little ketchup on the side.
Look at all that cheesy goodness! So de-lish!!!

Wow, this recipe looks both delicious and dangerous. I am a huge tatter tot fan so I will probably be forced to try this and I am not sure how much I’ll want to share. I like your pictures too.

Donna said:
I made this tonight! It was fantastic. I only altered the recipe a little. (No offense, I can’t just follow a recipe.) I added about a Tbsp. of chopped garlic and about a tsp. of Worchester sauce to the meat. YUM! Thanks so much for the recipe.
ladywiththeredrocker said:
Oh, Donna, I bet that was good! What a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Beth said:
We LOVE tater tot casserole in our house — and we love to use cheddar cheese soup instead of cream of chicken (I have a 5 yr. old who LOVES chickens…and therefore will not EAT them!). It makes it super creamy and extra cheesy! Love your blog!
ladywiththeredrocker said:
Ohhh… I bet that is supper yummy! I will try the cheese soup instead of the chicken soup next time. Thanks for the tip, and thanks for visiting, Beth! 🙂
