Loaded Baked Tater Tot Casserole

"This was originally a recipe for hashbrown casserole I received at church. I made it so many times, that I forgot some of the ingredients and added some of my own. My husband and his brothers would rather have this than anything else I fix in the wintertime. THIS IS TRULY THE PERFECT COMFORT FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!"

  1. I added ground beef, and used tortilla chips instead of corn flakes. I enjoyed it, but I have to agree, it was a little greasy. I think next time I'll skip the added butter on top. But it's still a recipe I would make again. Thanks for sharing.
     
  2. This was really good and budget friendly. I added sour cream like someone said and it turned out great!!! THANKS
     
  3. i guess these just weren't for us :( we have these ingredients on hand so we like them however all i could taste was the bacon bits and i had wished i just made the tots regular-sorry!!
     
  4. This is a great dish and very easy! I also added sour cream. And I also put the corn flakes in a zip lock baggie and crushed them and then added the butter in the zip lock with the corn flakes and mixed them together before putting them on top of the dish. My Husband loved it and we both agree this is a keeper!
     
  5. GREAT! I hate cooking with soup but will do it for this wonderful recipe! I did think it was a bit greasy so next time I'll half the butter. I also reduced the bacon bits... personal preference. Thanks for a winner!!

  2. Oh my, this was my 1st time using tater tots in a casserole & this was a lovely surprise, the potatoes break down as they cook giving it a hash brown kind of a feel. I didn't bother adding the butter & it didn't really need it. Instead of corn flakes I used some stale crushed corn chips I had on hand & didn't put any extra cheese on top & we didn't miss it. It was lovely even with the small changes we made, a keeper, thanks!
     
  3. This was absolutely DELICIOUS!! :) I also substituted the butter with a tub of sour cream and I also added some dried beef. It was divine! :) I didn't have any corn flakes, so I used Corn Chex cereal instead. My kiddos loved it and this was a HIT at our dinner table last night. :)
     
  4. Yummy! I added ham instead of bacon bits. Needed to use the ham. Also tried it with chicken and served with sour cream and salsa on te side and refried beans. A definite keeper!!
     
  5. How could anything so easy be so good? I used 3 spring green onions instead of minced onion because I like them on my baked potatoes but everything else was per your recipe. Thanks for posting this one!
