I made this for my husband because he loves comfort foods. He enjoyed it thought the taste was good. It is VERY easy to make, but akward in presentation and when you scoop it from the casserole everything mixes up. But its good for a casual dinner.

I can barely turn the oven on and even I could follow this recipe! Seriously, my wife was shocked and amazed when she came home from the blizzard the other night and found a piping hot casserole made by yours truly. We all enjoyed it.

This was AWESOME! I was looking for a recipe that had a little extra other than just meat and tater tots. I love celery, so this was a great recipe for me. I added fresh garlic with the celery and onions and it was a nice addition. Thanks for the recipe, it will be a regular from now on!

my BF made this for me last night. Only diifference is he used cream of chicken soup and no celery. Was really yummy- I am not a HUGE celery fan , so this worked out perfect for me. Our 10 yr old LOVED it as well. Very kid friendly. We did season it up a little with salt, pepper and garlic

I only had 1 can Cream of Celery soup so I used 1 Cream of Mushroom and 1 Cream of Celery. It was a nice easy meal for the weeknight. My husband and I are both in college so we don't have alot extra time. I think we might try Cheddar Cheese soup next time. Thanks for sharing!
