OPIE'S CHEESY TATER TOT CASSEROLE



Opie's Cheesy Tater Tot Casserole image

I created this recipe over time in homage to the original from Opie's BBQ in Spicewood, TX. Some things to note: Ore-Ida tater tots have lots of salt and seasoning; typically off-brand do not. I would probably add over a tsp for off-brand tots.

CHEESY TATER TOT CASSEROLE



Cheesy Tater Tot Casserole image

I hate tater tot casserole but my husband loves it so I had to come up with one that I liked too. This is it! It's nice and creamy with lots of cheesy goodness!

Provided by sassytxnmama

Categories     Weeknight

Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb ground beef
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 cup milk
1 (8 ounce) sour cream
1 (32 ounce) package tater tots
3 cups shredded cheese (use your fave)
1 small onion, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Brown ground beef, add onion to saute, drain, set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine soup, milk, sour cream, and 1 cup of shredded cheese, as well as any of your favorite seasoning, mix well.
  • Add package of tots, beef, and onions to soup mix. Mix all together and make sure the tots are well coated.
  • Place tot mixture in a 13x9 pan, smooth it out. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, top with remaining 2 cups of cheese and return to oven. Cook for an additional 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use frozen tater tots. Fresh tater tots will not hold their shape as well and will likely fall apart during baking.
  • Thaw the ground beef before cooking. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Don't overcook the ground beef. Overcooked ground beef will be dry and crumbly.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. This will give the casserole a more complex flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. You can add anything from chopped green onions to sour cream to salsa.
  • Serve the casserole hot. This is when it will be at its best.

Conclusion:

Cheesy tater tot casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a potluck. It is a great way to use up leftover ground beef and tater tots, and it is always a hit with kids and adults alike. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your cheesy tater tot casserole turns out perfect every time.
