    Tater Tots Casserole




    Click image for larger version.  Name: tatertot.jpg  Views: 100  Size: 24.3 KB  ID: 1335

    This is an easy go to meal that I like to make. It is fabulous because you dont have to cook the beef first so makes for fast prep time. I am not a fan of peas so I use fresh or frozen green beans. (fresh is much better of course) And I top it with cheddar cheese cuz I love cheddar. I also like to mix some soup in with the meat to give it more flavor then top it with extra. (I just use a larger size than stated)

    Ingredients:
    1 1/2 lbs raw lean ground beef
    1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
    2 cups frozen peas
    1 1/2 lbs frozen tater tots
    6 -8 slices American cheese
    salt and pepper

    Directions:

    1 Lightly grease a 9 x 13 pan (makes cleanup easier).

    2 Spread beef in bottom of pan.

    3 Salt and pepper.

    4 Cover with the can of soup; spread evenly.

    5 Layer the frozen peas over the meat and soup.

    6 Arrange tater tots in rows over the casserole.

    7 Cover and bake at 375 for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

    8 Uncover and add slices of American cheese to top of casserole.

    9 Bake uncovered for 15- 20 minutes, till cheese is brown and casserole is hot and bubbly.

    [MENTION=17]cali~jenn[/MENTION], this was one of my kids favorite dinners when they were growing up, it is cheap to make and it makes a ton, with two teen-age boys at the time, I made it about every two weeks. I forgot about this dish until you posted. I think I will make it and give half to my son and his fiance and keep half for us.

    This was great! I also used cheddar cheese because the american cheese did not sound too appetizing. Next time I think I will make sure the hamburger goes to the very edge of the pan as much as possible however, I did not account for shrinkage. So the 'end pieces' did not have much meat!

    This was SO EASY to make. I don't think I have made a dinner this easy in years! Even easier than making TV dinners or Boxed dinners!

    Yeah thats what I love about it, just throw it together and be done with it. I have never noticed the shrinkage of the meat but I usually use the 2 lb packs I think (since thats how I buy it) so that must be why.

    [MENTION=52]Paige[/MENTION] try this one, it is easy and kinda fun to make! You may want to only make half, in an 8x8x8 casserole, if it is just for two of you!

    [MENTION=52]Paige[/MENTION] I am sure I have tried it with turkey before and yes it works fine. I replace turkey with most all my ground beef recipes when trying to "be good."
