Tatertot Casserole

This is a wonderful kid-friendly dish. My mom had made it for me as a child. When I made it for my kids, they said, “Where’s the corn?” It seems that the cook at their daycare facility put corn in the recipe. So, I morphed my recipe too (so they would eat it!).

Quick Casserole

Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef – I usually use 1lb of 93%lean beef or use ground turkey
2 t dried onion (handful)
1 can cream of chicken soup – I don’t like mushrooms, but you could use cream of mushrooms
canned, frozen, or fresh corn

1/2 c grated cheese

1 large package of frozen tater tots

Preparation:

Mix ground meat, onion, soup, and corn.  Place in baking dish.  Sprinkle with cheese, top with tater tots.
Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Freezes well.
