  1. I made this for Christmas morning and when I woke up it was a crock pot of mush. I threw the recipe together again and baked it in the oven at 350 for a hour and it turned out better.
     
  2. I followed the recipe as written. The estimate of 10-12 hours on the low setting is way off--mine was overdone at 6 hours. Next time I'll check after 4. The result was tasty, but the tater tots had lost structural integrity and turned into a homogeneous mass of little potato bits. As long as you're ok with that, the recipe is fine.
     
  3. At first I wasn't going to review this since I didn't use the crockpot (too lazy to set it up the night before!), but I used the same ingredients and layered them in a skillet. I did this on the stovetop in a deep skillet, browning the tater tots and ham and onions first. Then I layered the ingredients in the pan and put a lid on it and cooked it over a medium flame for about 20 minutes (till it was set - I didn't actually time it precisely) then when it was finished I uncovered it and put it in a hot oven for a couple minutes to set the top (a broiler would be better, but mine is stupid, so I didn't use it.) The family loved it!
     
  4. Thought this was a delicious breakfast casserole. I used more tater tots; seemed needed to make complete layers. I cooked just under 4 hours. The sides were getting quite brown and the center was just the right firmness.
     
  5. I made this for a breakfast potluck at work and it was AWESOME!

  1. From reading reviews I ended up doing 1.5 lbs tater tots and only cooking 4 hours. I also topped with fresh parsley for some color.
