Simple Tater Tot Casserole
As with all recipes, you can switch out your meats so if you don’t like hamburger or you want a change you can try ground turkey or maybe some vegetarian alternative.
Ingredients
- 1-2 pound hamburger
- 8-16 ounces of shredded cheese (Mozeralla, Chedder, Colby Jack preference)
- 1/2 large bag of Frozen Tater tots
- 15 oz (approx) whole kernel corn (frozen or canned)
- 15 oz (approx) green beans (frozen or canned)
Directions
- Boil hamburger until brown and then strain
- Place strained hamburger in bottom of 13×9 pan
- Evenly sprinkle the contents of the green beans and corn containers over top of the hamburger. (If using canned vegetables, strain any juices out)
- Then sprinkle the cheese to desired thickness over the vegetables. Once covered you place a layer of tater tots across the top of the cheese.
- Place in the oven for recommended time for the tater tots purchased to achieve optimum tater tot quality. (This is most often 15 minutes at 425-450 degrees.)
Recommendation: I prefer to make a solid layer almost like using them as if they are bricks in building a house to ensure everyone has a fair portion of the tater tots. The frozen vegetables will creates a different texture, as if bought in right from the garden to cook. So it helps change the meal right from the first bite.
