Kirby Posted May 14, 2019 Share #4 Posted May 14, 2019 They sometimes have them in the work cafeteria (instead of french fries) and it always strikes me as sort of an odd food to have in the work setting, but it is a nice potato variation to have in the rotation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tater Tot Casserole For you tradition lovers, here is a more standard version of this dish. I found this recipe in the book “Hot Dish Heaven” by Ann Burckhardt, and it is similar to the one served by the Sheldon High School cooks. 1 lb. ground beef or turkey 1 onion, chopped 2 cups (about 8 ounces) of frozen vegetables such as peas and carrots or mixed vegetables 1 can (10 ounces) of cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup ½ cup milk 16 ounces of frozen Tater Tots Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet, brown the meat and onion lightly. Spread in a shallow 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread the vegetables over the meat, making an even layer. Stir together the soup and milk until smooth. Drizzle soup mixture over vegetables. Arrange tater tots in a single layer over the soup. Bake for 1 hour or until the tater tots are browned.

Frozen ones are okay, but they are better when harvested fresh from tater tot trees. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can delete the meat and replace with some beans. That will be TASTY! I'm sure @jsharr will also disagree with my using Campbell's cream of mushroom "soup", but he can prepare his however he likes!
