This recipe sounds yummy, I definitely will try it, my guy loves tater tots.

LOL... when it is all said and done.... we do (did) it our way. It's all good.

I'm in California and I've made TT casserole for over 30 years: Brown up lean ground beef or turkey with chopped onion and season to taste, add to 9x13-inch pan, add cooked peas & carrots on top of cooked meat, top with bag of frozen Tator Tots, pour 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup mixed with reduced fat milk and 8 ounces sour cream, over everything and generously top with shredded cheese! Thanks to all who posted with their own variations!

Out of the 250+ posts on this.... do you realize HOW many of the male population - had to fight over wording??? Pitiful. Try this recipe - any way that makes YOU happy. Good Grief!

I think we should all just take a moment to be grateful we live in a country where we CAN have and share opinions publicly, and the ability to purchase whatever ingredients we choose to use.
A lot of folks in the world don't have that luxury.

I made the casserole with vegetarian sour cream and veggie shredded cheddar cheese. It turned out great! There is some dairy in the mushroom soup, though, so strict vegans will not eat it.

Make this all the time and is always a hit. I use cream of chicken and cream of onion sometimes add bacon bits and green onions.

Just put this in the oven and used cream of chicken instead. Can't wait to try it.

This is the BEST TATER TOT CASSEROLE. You can use cubed or shredded frozen potatoes.

Such an easy recipe. It is versatile (you can add frozen veggies in, whatever meat you like or no meat). I replace the soup with evaporated milk and use French onion dip in place of the sour cream. Tangy and cheesy!

My grandma had a version that we all loved which had all these ingredients. She added in addition 1 cup mayo and instead of the fried onions 1 large bag of crushed potato chips. Fab!

Making this tomorrow. Adding a little dried parsley, dash garlic powder and black pepper, 2 tablespoons bacon bits and increasing grated cheese by 1/4 cup. Using sharp cheddar. Let you how it turns out. These comments gave me a well needed laugh! Needed to lighten up a bit from all preparation. Merry Christmas everyone!! My sister makes this.

I always made this for our boy scout dinners when we would go camping. Never any leftovers, I used to love seeing the Dads go up for seconds. I used fresh onions. I will try fried next time I make it. THANKS!

While this recipe is good, it is not authentic. This dish was created in Clontarf MN. To make it right, soak the tater tots first in the soup/milk. Then spoon over meat or veggies. You get a nice smooth finish. Like oatmeal.

Going to make a tater tot casserole as a side dish but this recipe has delayed my dinner due to the damn funny comments! will be serving it with hamburger steaks if I get them cooked!
