Just mix, bake and serve.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Tater Tot Casserole<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ground meat:<\/strong> Use ground beef for a heartier version or ground turkey for a slightly leaner version. Either way, let the meat cook so you get a nice brown crust on it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion:<\/strong> The best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-onions\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-onions\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">types of onion<\/a> to use for this dish are yellow or white onions, although red onion is fine, too. Make sure to use a sharp knife to cut it up, which will prevent it from stinging your eyes too much. Here are a few more tips on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-cut-onions-without-crying-our-test-kitchen-tries-6-crazy-methods\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-cut-onions-without-crying-our-test-kitchen-tries-6-crazy-methods\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">how to cut onions<\/a> without crying.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tater Tots:<\/strong> Why mess with the best? Only use store-bought frozen tots for this meal. You can cook them straight from frozen, no need to thaw them beforehand.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Soup:<\/strong> Like many of our <a href=\"http:\/\/tasteofhome.com\/collection\/our-favorite-casserole-recipes\/\" data-name=\"tasteofhome.com\/collection\/our-favorite-casserole-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">favorite casserole recipes<\/a>, this one calls for a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup. The soup works with the milk to make a sort of bechamel sauce\u2014a thick and creamy base for the casserole.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Milk:<\/strong> The milk is important for loosening up the condensed soup, and helping provide the right thickness for the sauce. You can use any type of milk if you don&#8217;t have 2%, or use water or broth instead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cheese:<\/strong> Shredded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-cheddar-cheese\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-cheddar-cheese\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cheddar cheese<\/a> is the perfect melty topping for this dish. Grate it yourself or buy pre-grated to save a step (and a dish).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Cook the meat<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1997959\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Tater-Tot-Casserole_TOHVS19_4289_BL_06_25_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Overhead shot of large skillet; cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; season with salt and pepper; wooden background;\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F.

Top with an even layer of Tater Tots, making sure they go all the way out to the edges of the pan. Combine the condensed soup and the milk and give it a good whisk before pouring over the potatoes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1997961\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Tater-Tot-Casserole_TOHVS19_4289_BL_06_25_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Overhead shot of baking pan; combined soup and milk; pour over potatoes; sprinkle with cheese; and bake; wooden background;\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Sprinkle the top with cheese.

Add <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-taco-seasoning-mix\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-taco-seasoning-mix\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">homemade taco seasoning mix<\/a> to the ground beef for a taco-inspired casserole. Or give it a little kick by adding a minced jalapeno to the beef and onions. Green hatch chiles would also be a delicious addition, giving it a Southwestern vibe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try it with cream of chicken soup:<\/strong> If mushroom isn&#8217;t your thing, use a can of condensed cream of chicken soup instead. You&#8217;ll add more protein and still get the same creamy sauce you&#8217;re looking for.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change up the cheeses:<\/strong> This Tater Tot casserole loves its cheese, the meltier the better! Try it with different cheeses: pepper jack cheese for a little kick, a pungent aged Gruyere for a mac and cheese vibe or a young Gouda for a slightly sweeter cheese. It&#8217;s also great to mix cheeses, like adding a stinkier cheese to a milder cheese for a little variation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get your veggies in:<\/strong> I love to get vegetables into my meals however possible. Green beans are a casserole favorite, either canned beans, frozen or fresh ones that have been quickly steamed. Wilted kale or spinach are always easy additions, and even some sauteed broccoli or cauliflower florets would go well here.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Tater Tot Casserole<\/h2>\n<p>Store your Tater Tot casserole covered in the fridge for up to five days. Just pop it in the oven to reheat, or microwave individual portions.<\/p>\n<h2>Can you freeze a Tater Tot casserole?<\/h2>\n<p>Casseroles are notoriously great for freezing. Once it&#8217;s fully cooled you can store it whole, tightly wrapped, or in individual portions in airtight containers. When you&#8217;re ready to eat it, let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator, and then reheat in the oven or microwave. Enjoy within three months.<\/p>\n<h2>Tater Tot Casserole Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1983945\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Tater-Tot-Casserole-fka-Quick-Tater-Tots-Bake_FT24_4289_JR_0315_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Tater Tot Casserole served on plate with peas and other vegetables \" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with a Tater Tot casserole?<\/h3>\n<p>Our Tater Tot casserole doesn&#8217;t include vegetables other than chopped onions, so any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-for-vegetable-side-dishes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-for-vegetable-side-dishes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vegetable side dish recipes<\/a> would pair perfectly.

Only I add French style greenbeans. I mix the soup, meat, greenbeans, a handful of tater tots that I shred, cheese, salt, pepper, Tony's Cajun seasoning and minced garlic.  I add that to my baking dish and then layer tots on top. I bake for 30-45 minutes until tots are crispy and then melt cheese on top.
