Thanks! My family loves it!
Very good, I used mixed veggies. Needs salt and pepper though
So I want to make a tatertot casserole but can’t do the mushroom soup what can I substitute with
You can substitute another cream soup. Enjoy!
Do I need to adjust cook time for an 8×8?
I haven’t made it in an 8×8 so I would imagine you might need to tweak the cook time a little but I can’t say exactly what it would be!
Easy to make. Tasted wonderful
Would fresh vegetables work as well? I was thinking of adding fresh broccoli.
I’ve made tater tot casserole for years and never cook the ground beef. I just lat beef on bottom, put on onions, green beans, cheese and mushroom soup. Add cheese and then top with tater tots. Bake 350 for 1 hour. Delish. I’ll have to try it this way.
Made this tonight for the first time! Easy, hearty and delicious! Great recipe!
This recipe sounds delicious! Added everything I need to my online Walmart order and will make this on Sunday for dinner. Thanks for sharing the recipe ❤️
Hi! I wanted to double the recipe for my big family. Would a double batch fit in one 9×13 baking dish, or would I need to use two 9×13 baking dishes?
I would recommend using two 9×13 pans and not putting it all in one pan!
