Don't be turned off by its humble appearance; the combination of cream of mushroom soup, corn, green beans, beef and a delightful crispy potato topping (the more taters, the better!) is universally likeable.

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped (about 2 cups)

TATER TOT HOTDISH



Tater Tot Hotdish image

I'm originally from Minnesota, and if Minnesota is famous for one thing, it's hotdish. You might know it better as casserole, or something like that, but in Minnesota, it's hotdish. This is my mom's recipe, the same one that she used to make for me when I was little.

Provided by Buffington

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-6 , 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb ground beef
1 (1 lb) package tater tots (you probably won't use the whole package, but this is usually the smallest size I can find)
2 (10 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup (or 3 cans if you want it extra creamy)
1 (14 ounce) can vegetables (or 2 cans, whatever kind you like, I like sweet corn, my mom uses green beans)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • While the oven is preheating, brown the ground beef (seasoning to taste as you cook) and drain off the grease.
  • Spread the beef in the bottom of a 2 to 2 1/2 quart baking dish.
  • Drain the liquid off the vegetables and spread them over the meat.
  • Using a rubber spatula, spread the cans of soup over the top of the vegetables and meat. Use the soup as is, straight from the can. Do NOT mix it with anything.
  • Arrange a layer of tater tots over the top of that.
  • Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.
  • Top with your favorite variety of shredded cheese as you serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your tater tot hotdish the best flavor. If you can, use organic ingredients whenever possible.

  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings: There are many different ways to season a tater tot hotdish. You can use a simple salt and pepper combination, or you can add more complex flavors like garlic, onion, paprika, or chili powder.
  • Top the hotdish with cheese: Cheese is a classic topping for tater tot hotdish. It adds a delicious flavor and a golden brown crust.

Conclusion:

Tater tot hotdish is a delicious and easy-to-make casserole that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great dish to serve at potlucks and parties. With a few simple tips, you can make a tater tot hotdish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
