Tater Tot Casserole

Did Someone Say Tater Tots?  I Am So There!



            Sorry for the hiatus, holidays and car accidents will do that to you, but I digress.

            I promise this dish will become an instant family favorite!  It’s quick, easy and super cheap.  Not to mention that it freezes well too.  I have yet to meet any kid, or adult for that matter, that has ever said No to tater tots.  And away we go…

Ingredients:

1 Pound Ground Beef
1 Medium Onion, chopped
1 10.5 ounce can of Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 Tablespoon Ketchup
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
3 Cups frozen tater Tots – I will let you know I used more

Preparation:


            Start off by cooking the Ground Beef and Onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the beef is browned and broken up.  Pour off as much fat as you can.

            Next stir in the Mushroom Soup, Ketchup, and Worcestershire Sauce until the entire yummy mixture is heated through.  Now it’s time to spoon the contents of the skillet into a 12 X 8 – inch shallow baking dish. 

*The original recipe calls for you to arrange the 3 cups of Tater Tots around the edges of the casserole dish.  I on the other hand felt that although it was a shame to cover the beauty of the delicious beef blend, there can never be too many Tots.  I covered every square inch, I mean, why miss the opportunity to let the star of this dish shine to its fullest potential?



Bake at 425 degrees for 25 minutes until the Tots are golden, crispy and just screaming for you to plate them up. And there you have it, from fridge to table in under 40 minutes!  If you don’t fall in love with this recipe, I can’t help you, you are beyond saving!  :) 


As the Koolaid man says "Ooooh Yeah!"
