There are so many different recipes for this out there but most of them call for mixed vegetables. If you like mixed vegetables, definitely make your tater tot casserole with them. I on the other hand, do not like pees so this recipe below is with corn, onions and green beans for vegetables.

Here is a list of items you will need to create this recipe, you can substitute anything you feel you want.

How Do I Make This?
To make Tater Tot Casserole, you will want to start with browning your ground beef in a pan., draining out any access drippings. Grease the bottom of your 9×13 baking dish and spread the ground beef in the bottom of the pan.
Mix in your vegetables and your can of cream of mushroom soup. Stir everything together thoroughly, ensuring everything is covered in cream of mushroom soup. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder and whatever else kind of seasonings you choose.
Place your taters on top, you can place them neatly in a row or just toss them on top. I prefer to neatly lay them out, it just looks better to me.
Final step, shred your cheese and toss that on top of the tater tots. Place in preheated oven and cook for 20-30 minutes, until your tater tots are golden brown and your cheese is melted.
Enjoy yourself a delicious plate of this Tater Tot Casserole. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do and you share this recipe with your family. Be sure to read the entire recipe below.
