Tater Tot Casserole

Tater Tot Casserole

This is a no-brainer for a good, filling supper on a cold night.  I’m sure there’s hundreds of variations on this recipe.  Brown the meat, and a few minutes later, pop it in the oven and you’re done.  I usually use 93% lean hamburger, but any ground meat tastes fine – elk, turkey, chicken.  This recipe can be easily doubled to make an 11″ x 17″ casserole.  For one pound of meat, I use either an 8″ square or 8″ x 10″, 2 qt. baking pan.

Meat first

1 lb. ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion (optional)
Salt and pepper
1 10¾ oz. can Cream of Chicken soup
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons water
1 lb. tater tots, frozen

Preheat oven to 350°.

Chicken Soup Mixture Next

Brown ground beef in skillet.  Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper to your taste as it is browning.  Put chicken soup, water and garlic in a small bowl and mix well.  [My oven heats up quickly.  I start the oven at this point.]  Drain fat from browned meat.  Put in greased casserole dish and spread out to form a layer of meat on the bottom.  Next, evenly spread the chicken soup mixture over meat.  Top with frozen tater tots.

Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or so until tater tots are done and crisp.
