  1. Have loved this my whole life. This version makes a very creamy, cheesy meat layer. I cooked in 11x7 inch casserole. Took 35 minutes to get bubbly and the potatoes browned. So happy.
     
  2. I gave this recipe 3 stars. Why I liked this casserole why my hubby didn't think it was as flavorful as another recipe I used. My 9 yrs old newphew didn't like it. We didn't care for having to wait 20 minutes for it to thicken. Overall I would have it again. Thanks for posting a good recipe! Christine
     
  3. My husband told me to add this to our favorites so obviously it was a hit. Only change I made was to leave out the cream of celery soup... so I just used one can of cream of mushroom soup and it was plenty creamy. It wasn't quite hot enough at 20 minutes so I baked it a little longer. Thanks for the recipe!
     
  4. My family loves, loves, loves this recipe! It has been added to my casserole rotation! The only changes that I make to the recipe when I make it are #1. I use ground chicken or turkey in place of the hamburger (my family does not eat red meat and #2. Sometimes I add veggies to the mix. Corn, green beans, and mushrooms all work great!
     
  5. I had never tried Tater Tot Casserole, although a former boss of mine used to longingly reminisce about her Grandmother's. I figured I would try this and it was really good "comfort" food. I added onion to the hamburger, and seasoned with garlic, pepper and salt, plus a touch of ground chipotle pepper (we like spicy!) and then I sprinkled salt and hot paprika over the tater tots. Other than that, I followed the recipe to a T. My hubby asked me to put it into the dinner rotation. Thanks.

  2. I haven't made this recipe but I have one a lot like it. I use 2 cans cream of mushroom instead of the cream of celery and I add a dash of garlic. We are garlic lovers though. But this is always great. Kids love this thing and it makes tons of leftovers if there are only 2 of you.
     
  3. This was awesome. I subbed the hamburger for pinto beans because I'm vegetarian, and I'm sure there's tons of other things I can put in too. Thanks for sharing, it makes a really hearty meal!
