Meat & Potato Style Tater Tot Casserole image

This is such a wonderful hearty one dish meal. I love the sour cream and cheese mixture in this. If your family is a meat/potato kinda family then they will go crazy over this. This is a combination of many different recipes rolled into one to meet my family's picky needs at the table.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 lbs ground beef
32 ounces oreda tater tots
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup (undiluted can)
2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup milk
16 ounces sour cream
1 (15 1/4 ounce) can sweet corn
3 tablespoons chopped green onions
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Brown and drain ground beef.
  • Mix ground beef, cream of chicken soup, cheese, milk, sour cream, corn and onions all together.
  • I salt and pepper the mixture to taste.
  • Spread mixture evenly in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish or pan. The pan will be VERY full but it will all fit. I just line the bottom of my oven with foil just in case.
  • Cover the mixture with the entire bag of tater tots making sure to spread them evenly. I lay most on their sides and some upright and then kind of smash them down into the mixture a little. I give them a good smashing and smash as much as i can so just the tops of the tots are showing.
  • Bake uncovered in a preheated 350°F oven for about 45 minutes.
  • You can also sprinkle a little teeny bit of cheddar cheese on the top if you want.
  • Step away from the table because your meat eaters will LOVE this.
  • YOU CAN USE MORE SOUR CREAM AND CHEESE DEPENDING ON YOUR TASTE! I SOMETIMES USE A LOT.
