Yummy Tater Tot Casserole
Who doesn’t love tater tots?? They remind us of childhood, so we could basically eat them anytime and be perfectly content…probably a few pounds heavier, but content. Our kids now devour them, so making tater tot casserole was a no brainer for me!
The kids would eat this or our Crockpot Pizza Casserole anytime! And on game day, we always make Tater Tot Nachos!
Did you know Americans consume approximately 70 million pounds of tater tots per year? Guess we’re not the only ones who love them.

How to Make Tater Tot Casserole
It’s pretty easy to brown the meat, mix in the soup, milk, Worcestershire, and cheese, place the ingredients in the baking dish and top with the potatoes and cheese.
A good sturdy pan (in a cute Agave blue color) to make your casserole is this 13×9 pan by Rachel Ray.

- Using cream of chicken or celery soup, whatever you have in your pantry, also works great in this recipe.
