I liked this recipe, so did my boys who are 4 & 2. I do suggest a couple changes though. *I added Shredded Cheddar Cheese to the mixture when I mixed all the ingrediants on the stove, as well as some of my own extra spices. It gives it that extra little hint of flavor and it was really yummy! *Also, the recipe calls for 10 3/4oz of milk, I added 10 oz (which is a cup) and it was just a little runny. I think I would only add 3/4 a cup next time. I will make it again though! It was fast, easy and a tummy pleaser! :) Thanks Andrew & Amy!

my husband and i along with both my children really liked this! i doubled the recipe and cooked 1 chopped onion with the grnd. beef along with 1 tblsp. montreal steak seasoning and 2 tblsp. worcestershire sauce. i added 1- 4 oz. can sliced mushrooms to the soup mixture and topped that with 1-2 cups shredded cheddar jack cheese before putting the tater tots on top. if you want the tots brown and crispy, turn the broiler on for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking with oven door cracked. we think this dish has really good flavor for a simple week night meal. p.s. make sure you drain all juice out of bean and mushroom cans before adding to mixture and use half the milk called for.

Very bland until I did a few things. This is what I did and turned out WONDERFUL!!!! I used 2 lbs of beef, 1 can cream of mushroom soup. No milk, 1 can of tomato soup, 1 can grren beans,and a whole bag of tator tots. I put the meat down in the pan mixed all the stuff together all but the tots put that over the hambuger them I put the tots on cooked covered for 50 min at 350 them I put 2 cups cheese on top and cooked until the cheese was melted....Turned out beautiful. My husband will ask for it 3 times a month and he don't like casseroles. My kids are the same way...Try this way and you will like it more. Rememebr to season the meat how you like I use allpine touch and all purpose seasoning salt and garlic.

As simple as this recipe was, it came out wonderful. I followed directions exactly. My husband isn't a "casserole" kind of guy but he LOVED it. My 19 year old son actually "licked" his plate. LOL I am now sending this recipe home with my son for him and his room mates to try themselves since it's so simple for them to make. Will make again!

I have changed this recipe some, I use 1 lb. hamburger, 1 can of cream of mushroom, or chicken, or celery, or even onion soup, 12 oz. of shredded cheese and top with the tater tots. Some times I add onions to the meat when I brown it.
11/13/2002
I'd been hunting for this recipe, it's one my brother likes. This was pretty good but kind of bland and runny. Add S&P and a little less milk, maybe some french fried onions under the tater tots would give it more flavor and maybe some worchestershire sauce on the burger while it's browning.. just a suggestion.
04/06/2006
Didn't have much milk so I went through the reviews and improvised: I seasoned 1 lb. meat with salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder, and worcesteshire, and sauteed some diced poblano pepper with meat. I put the meat and peppers on the bottom of 9x13. I added a layer of French fried onions on top. Then, in the same skillet I cooked the meat in, I heated the cream of mushroom, 2 cans drained green beans, and 1 small can tomato sauce. I added this on top, then the tots, then some shredded cheese. Very homey and yummy!
01/13/2006
I followed most of the recipe as it was and also made some other changes as suggested. I did the onion with the ground beef and since I couldn't find my garlic powder I used Grill Mates Montreal Steak seasoning. Like other people said, season it to taste. I didn't try it with the cheese but I did put a layer of Frence Fried onions on (yum)before the taters. Everyone, even hubby, loved it and he and I put a couple of spoons of sour cream on top of ours for the added kick. Super awesome.
10/14/2001
This recipe was really good and the kids loved it. It was so easy my 4 year old was able to help. Maybe next time I will add a little pepper before baking for a little more flavor, and maybe a little less milk. But otherwise it was great.
11/07/2001
This was definately easy and fast to prepare, but my husband & thought it was only "ok" tasting. We give it 3-1/2 stars. I think it is a great recipe if you have kids though!
05/14/2011
I just made this again and threw in what I had - it was even better than before. 3/4 lb ground meat, heaping tsp garlic, red bell pepper, celery, onion and a good dash of garlic salt. After cooking that up I added the soup and milk, stirred and put into a casserole dish. Topped it with frozen mixed veggies then cheese. At this point I put it in the fridge for the day - overnight would have been fine. Later I cooked it covered about 30 min then put on as many tater tots as looked right and cooked uncovered another 30 minutes until the potatoes were done. Very good and filling on a cold night and I really like make ahead stuff. Great dish Drew and thanks to "something different again?!" for posting the picture that made me think of mixed veggies and cheese.
02/18/2011
Our family thought this was excellent! The only couple of things I did differently was (1) used ground turkey instead of ground beef, (2) added poultry seasoning to the browned turkey meat, and (3) added cheddar cheese before adding the tater tots. Very good, very easy, and we all had seconds!
01/22/2008
Ok, people here make a big deal out of a simple recipe. You don't have to follow the recipe excactly. In fact, I never even use recipes (a tip I picked up in culinary school) because most of the time, they're not right. Back to the point, though. I was pressed for time and decided to make a tater tot casserole. I threw in cream of broccoli, some broccoli spears, extra sharp cheddar, along with my ground round (with garlic salt/pepper)...turned out magical. Didn't measure a thing, just used my common sense. Reading the reviews on this entire website are comical because it's obvious...some cannot cook and actually turn very simple dishes in to a drawn out process and blame the recipe. If you're sitting there with measuring cups and measuring spoons for a simple casserole, something's wrong and it's not the recipe.
06/22/2011
Not a bad casserole as is but I made some changes to mine... first i doubled it for a 9x13 pan... I also cut back the milk to a cup and a half (for the 9x13 pan) added a can of mushrooms and some shredded cheese under the tater tots... these additions seemed to make it a little better... not a bad recipe though... very simple
04/28/2011
This casserole was waaay goood! I would add more vegetables to give it more taste, but overall it was amazing!
12/19/2010
This was a good, quick and easy casserole to throw to gether on a week night. The family enjoyed it. I would probably add some seasonings to this to give a little more kick next time, but I will make again.
12/27/2008
Great base recipe..I was looking for something like this to make for my teenage son..I read the other reviews and added a few things..I too did a full pound of hamburger and fried it with a diced onion, diced clove of garlic,1tbls steak seasoning and a few dashes of worchestershire sauce..when this was done I combined my other ingredients and also added about a cup of cheese..I also cut the milk to 1/2 cup..I layered the meat/soup/bean/cheese mixture..Then a 1/2 can fried onion..topped that with about a cup more of cheedar cheese..then the tator tots..baked for 30 minutes and then turned on the broiler to crisp up the tots...delicious!!!
05/14/2011
turned out GREAT!
10/17/2010
love this recipe.. so easy to double and so easy to make. a family favorite!
03/15/2011
My kids liked this recipe. I thought it was a little bland and slightly watery and I didnt add the full amout of milk. I did use 1lb of gr. beef instead of 1/2 lb which im glad I did otherwise it would have been even more watery. I will probably make this again with a few changes.
12/12/2008
Great, easy, all-in-one dish! Tasty too! I did cut the milk in half though. I think the recipe asks for way too much. Good comfort-food dish!
04/28/2011
I liked the texture of the Tater Tot Casserole. I didn't like the taste of it thought because we used Cream of Celery Soup instead of Cream of Mushroom. It was not very tasty.
05/04/2011
The first time I made this dish, according to this recipe, it was bland and soupy (but still edible and good, since I love green beans and beef). Last night I made it a second time, and I still had problems with it being soupy, but I added one of Tastfully Simple's meat spices to the beef while I cooked it to give it flavor. I also topped the dish with cheese before I baked it. Overall, I think I will omit the milk the next time I make this dish, but it's definitely a keeper in my book!
04/28/2011
At school, we didn't have any cream of mushroom on stock so we used cream of celery soup. I didn't really like it. The tator tots were the best part.
04/04/2002
I made this for dinner last night for my husband and I, we both loved it. I will be making this again. Thanks!!
11/05/2008
This stuff is so good that even the pickest person would eat it. It sounds weird but oh so good. I use 1 pound ground beef, onion, garlic, half a bag of frozen veggies, green beans, half cup on milk, cream of mushroom soup, montreal steak seasoning, and an entire bag of tater tots. You will not be disappointed.
10/22/2010
I added carrots and another can of the cream of. My husband and toddler liked it. Next time I'll add some more flavor somehow?!?
02/05/2011
Followed the recipe as indicated. Looked great, smelled good, but I did not care for this. The meat portion was pretty nice, but with the tater tots- no. I might make the meat again and add real potatoes, but it'll be a while before my family forgets how bad this was. I ended up making a frozen pizza instead.
01/01/2012
This was a pretty good tater tot casserole, better then the last recipe I tried on here but still wasn't very memorable. I made mine a bit differently, this is what I did. I used 1 lb. of hamburger and while I browned it I used salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and some steak seasoning (Lawrys to be exact) I drained the meat, added the one can of mushroom soup and 1/2 cup of milk and that seemed to be the perfect consistency for 1 lb. of hamburger. I added one can of corn instead of green beans, and mixed about half a bag of shredded cheddar cheese to it, topped with tater tots, baked for a half hour, took it out and topped it with the rest of the bag of cheddar and then baked for about another 10 mins until the cheese was melted. It wasn't a bad casserole but it just needs a little more 'spunk' than the recipe lists. Over all, I'd say give it a try but add your own seasoning, and plenty of them. (:
12/28/2010
WOW - this is delish!! A huge hit, not only for me but for my husband and the kids as well! I doubled the recipe and baked it uncovered in a 13'x9' pan. Based on prior reviews, I reduced the milk (I used 1-3/4 cup milk total, for the doubled recipe), and I added 8 oz. of shredded cheddar cheese (mixed in with everything before topping it with the tater tots). Turned out perfect...creamy and moist but not runny. The tater tots were thoroughly cooked and not too mushy. Will definitely be making again!
09/18/2002
Great kid pleaser, i used to make this for my family when i was little (out of a childrens cookbook) i was sure surprised to see it again after all of these years! Yummy!! will definately make this again and again!
01/28/2011
The family loved it- including my picky husband and 2-year-old. Made a few of the suggested modifications and it was delicious! I will definitely make it again!
08/13/2008
This is a great, cheap meal. I first saw it on the show about the Duggar family... you know, the Baptist family that has 19 kids, lol. I'm not a big fan of mushroom soup recipes so I may use cream of chicken or celery instead, but it tastes good. It's a comfort food for sure.
10/16/2001
So easy and my kids beg for it! Double it up and keep everybody happy.
04/12/2008
ok i gave my kids the choice of canned green veggie in this one, and they choose spinach. We also were outta tater-tots so i sliced a tator and quick fried it in the ground beef grease before topping the casserole with it. We give you a 5
11/13/2009
This dish is impossible to have leftovers with. Even if I increase the size of the casserole, it still disappears and the only request I have had from anyone is to "MAKE MORE next time!" I do add a couple more things to it and it is fabulous. I add a dash of white cooking wine, about a 1/4 cup of sour cream, and shredded cheese right under the tots. Makes an excellent dish. Simple and quick, this is a great recipe that anyone will love! Edited to add: I also add a little Worcestershire sauce to the hamburger meat. It gives it a wonderful flavor when paired with the wine and sour cream. LOVE it!!
11/15/2009
I'm writing this as I'm eating this... I just made a few changes. I doubled the recipe and used a can of cream of chicken with a can of cream of celery instead of the mushrooms. I also added some Lawreys seasoning salt to the meat! I also used freshly canned green beans (yum!) and we added about 3/4 cups of shredded chedder!!! Absolutely delicious!
10/24/2007
Yummy! I doubled the recipe and added mushrooms, onion & shredded cheese in the mixture and the also sprinkled some on top. Use half the amount of milk as others suggest. This is a new favorite for us!
11/19/2005
decrease milk and add cheese my son is picky but he rated this a five
03/31/2009
This was the best casserole ever! My only change was to chop up the chops first. Quick and Easy my fav way to do things!!!!!
08/26/2010
This was pretty good but nothing spectacular
11/30/2010
This is a great classic. I used a small bag of frozen vegetables and a pound of hamburger (half turkey burger). Some other tater tot casserole recipes call for cheese, but I don't miss it and with the extra veggies this is a healthier version.
04/18/2011
I have had this saved since 2001 in my recipe box and finally made it :) As far as tator tot casserole is concerned, it was pretty good!
01/18/2009
This recipe was very good and easy to make. Only changes I made was I added a couple splashes of worcestershire sauce to the mixture. I also sprinkled shredded cheddar cheese on top.
02/28/2009
Took some reviewers suggestions. Used 1/2 beef and 1/2 ground turkey w/ an onion, garlic, garlic powder and Worcestershire. Added some frozen corn instead of green beans and cheese on top of the meat mixture. This was good, but not to die for...I may make it again.
07/16/2008
Love this recipe! I've made this many times. I add a can of mushrooms because I love fungus. Keep all the milk and add whatever shredded cheese on top that you like or have handy. Great as leftovers too!
03/23/2003
My whole family enjoyed this. I added extra garlic and put the cheese on top of the meat mixture. This time I added corn along with the green beans. Next time, I will use mixed vegetables to sneak in even more veggies. :)
12/18/2008
This is a good recipe. We use 1 lb. of ground beef rather than the 1/2. We also use regular green beans rather than the french-style. I only use 1/2 cup of skim milk. This cooks up perfectly.
02/05/2010
To make this lower calorie: I made this with ground turkey. Instead of milk I just mixed half can of water with the soup. I layered meat first, then green beans, then soup on top of that. Then put the tater tots on top and baked at 425 for 45 minutes.
11/13/2011
I made a few changes based on other reviews. I added a splash of worshetershire sauce, 1/2 package of sharp cheddar cheese, I used roasted garlic mushroom soup. I then added a thin layer of french fried onions between the meat and tot layer. I also turned the broiler on during the last 8 min of cooking. Wonderful dish, but no leftovers :)
12/17/2008
THIS THE BEST STUFF SINCE PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY.CHANGE 0 JUST ENJOY.
10/04/2007
WOW this was soooo yummy!!! I sauteed lots of chopped onions, then mixed in the ground beef (one pound), and added Worcestershire, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Definitely cut back on the milk - I used about half a can. Instead of green beans I used mixed veggies and added a layer of shredded mexican blend cheese on top of the meat/soup mixture before putting the tater tots on top. We ate the whole pan in one sitting - my husband and kids were fighting over the last portion! Super easy, tasty, and filling!
01/26/2009
Better than I expected. I used mixed veggies instead of green beans,added chopped onion to the burger and topped with cheddar cheese (still was basically the same flavored dish). It was a good, weeknight "all-in-one" dinner that dh liked. I will (occasionally) make again.
01/21/2011
This recipe calls for too much milk. It made the casserole bland and runny. I think cutting it down to 1/2 or 3/4 of a cup of milk would make it much better.
01/19/2009
This was comfort food. I did add shredded cheese and subsituted homestyle potatoes with the tater tots. I also seasoned the ground beef with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Also added a drained can of mushrooms. Would make this again for a fast, easy meal. Thanks!
12/23/2002
Great recipe, quick and tasty.
05/14/2007
Delicious and easy. My husband loves this one. He says it has everything a man needs -- meat, potatoes, and cheese (I like to sprinkle some shredded cheddar or jack cheese on top). One note- When I first put it together, I thought there was way too much liquid, but during cooking it all came together.
12/27/2008
This was good, didn't have much flavor to it even though I added the Worchestershire, Garlic Salt and other seasonings. It reminded me of Hamburger Helper.
01/21/2008
I added onions and garlic to ground beef while browning. topped it off with monterey jack cheese. YUM!
07/13/2007
This is a great recipe only if instead of using a measuring cup for the 10.5 fluid oz. of milk, you use the cream of mushroom soup can for a can of milk, then you're set. Otherwise, it turns out really soupy. Also, I personally like to add a layer of about a 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese before I add my layer of tater tots.
01/12/2009
My mom made this when we were kids and we loved it; however, it needs some help for "grown-ups". I added onion and garlic with the meat, and pepper and a little oregano with the soup. I also used sour cream instead of milk. It was a very simple supper!
11/03/2008
It's been said already but I'll say it again - cut back on the milk. I always like to follow the recipe exactly as written when I make it the first time. Adding the amount of milk that this recipe calls for made it WAY to soupy. To get rid of some of the juice, I had to use a slotted spoon to serve this. It was a good, easy, family friendly recipe. I'll definitely make it again... I'll just add less milk next time.
11/19/2008
To be honest the tater tots were all mush at the bottom. It was all together a very strange texture. My kids ages 15 & 9 strongly disliked it.
02/10/2009
This got the thumbs up at dinner. The beef (I used ground turkey) and bean mixture beneath the tater tots is not the most appetizing-looking, but everyone seemed to like it, and it is very quick and simple. The only thing I added was salt and pepper.
11/01/2013
I hate when people change the recipe and then rate it poorly. Well, I did change the recipe, but I think my changes make it great, that's different right? I used a whole pound of ground beef and added a tablespoon of Montreal steak seasoning. I also added about a cup of shredded Colby jack, cheddar cheese. I did not have that high expectations for it, but the kids ate it up and I enjoyed it too. There seemed to be some confusion about the 10 3/4 ounces milk. That is a soup can full which is what I added and it came out perfect.
05/10/2006
When I said, "Tater Tot Casserole," my family went, "ick." However, we all liked it. Made it just like the recipe said except I layered cheese on half to see if I would like it better with or without. I liked it without, my husband liked it with, and my kids liked it either way. I'll make it the same way next time. It was quick and easy!
02/14/2010
Ok my family was not crazy about this one.
03/12/2014
This is one of those meals I can easily and quickly throw together and my family loves it. I had a little bit more ground beef, an envelope of onion soup mix and some chopped onion to it and it's a hit at our house!
05/13/2008
MMMmmmmm...Of course you have to tweak it a bit to your taste. I love to season the beef with chopped onion, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. I used 1lb. of beef, added 1c. cheddar cheese to the meat mixture, and only half a cup milk. Also turned the broiler on for 2 more minutes at the end. Turned out great!
11/06/2007
Good recipe. I also added worchestershire to the hamburger and put about 1/2 the milk in. Turned out to be a very flavorful thick gravy that was great over the tater tots.
02/13/2008
This was soooo good!!!! My boys loved it. The only change I made was to add a handful of shredded cheese to the mixture before baking and some more to the top after it came out of the oven. I'm glad I doubled it & made an extra pan or not me and the honey wouldn't have gotten any!!!!
01/11/2009
I have made this a couple times...using a lot of the suggestions and we love it each time. Thanks!
04/14/2007
I have tried this twice now and I really tried to like it. I am not sure what it is about it that we don't like, but when the 7yr old rolls her eyes and says no...there is something missing.
04/14/2010
This was incredible!! I used 2 cans mushroom soup, regular grenn beans but I chopped them up, just a few splashes of milk, 1.5 lbs hamburger and mixed in frendch friend onions. I also added garlic powder and onion powder and pepper. Mixed that all together and topped with tater tots. Everyone LOVED this and it was very easy. Thanks for sharing!!
03/26/2009
My husband couldn't get enough of this and ended up eating what was left over. Good recipe!
06/13/2003
This one was pretty good. I used cream of chicken instead of mushroom but otherwise followed the recipe. Husband wasn't too impressed but the kiddo had seconds which is important because it did contain green beans!
02/14/2009
This is similar to a recipe I have made for years, my husband loves it! I use 2 cans of soup, one cream of celery and one cream of mushroom with no milk. I also add cheddar chees to the top to make it really yummy! A true comfort food!
11/06/2007
Yum! I did cook my tots a bit before adding them to the casserole, as well as adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce Thanks for the recipe!
03/23/2009
I tried it with both ground beef and ground turkey. With the turkey I used cream of chicken soup and my family preferred it that way.
09/05/2008
It was ok for a very quick and easy family dinner. AS others suggested, I used a white onion, and a tsp. of steak seasoning.
11/10/2003
This was super easy to make. We just added another child to our family and super easy meals are what I've been looking for. I did take an earlier suggestion and added a layer of cheese between the meat mixture and tater tots. I also browned the meat with some onions, some Dales seasoning and tabasco.My 3 year old loved this so it is a real keeper!
09/22/2009
I used to eat this as a kid all the time. I leave the vegitables out of it for a personal preferance. It is like comfort food.
10/29/2008
This was easy! I replaced the milk with fat free sour cream & put shredded cheese on top...it was yummy!! :)
02/01/2006
This is a good recipe for "comfort food". It's not gourmet, but it's filling and good!
02/22/2004
My family loves this! It's quick and easy to make and it is delicious!
02/10/2009
This recipe is a hit. I didn't use the entire amoun of sour cream and I added some skim milk. I added a little thyme to the corn flake crumb topping.
08/02/2004
Very good base for a good casserole. Definetly need to cut the milk. I also added some seasonings.
11/17/2008
i had looked at this recipe for about a week, wanting to make it, but not to sure. this was really good and really easy! I made it for just 2 of us, so cut everything in half and since my BF is lactose intolerant, i just put the cheese on my half (pepper jack and cheddar). the tater tots were nice and crispy like i like them and the BF said it was great. thanks
07/18/2007
This was a great base to start with, but we added a packet of onion soup mix. It added the zing it needed. YUM!
11/21/2009
A good weekday supper. I followed the suggestions of other reviewers and added a can of tomato sauce. My husband came home much earlier than expected, so to speed things along. I mixed everything for the sauce in the pan on the stovetop, got it warm quickly, microwaved the tator tots til warm. Added the tots on top and threw in a 450 degree oven until they got a little crunchy. A good recipe, but a little salty for me, but I like no salt. Will make again.
11/07/2007
this was great! just what i wanted.doubled the recipe and used 1/2 sausage and 1/2 beef,corn instead of beans and 1 can of cheese soup instead of 2 mushroom was very good basic recipe tho
12/29/2011
Just as I remembered from my childhood. The whole family loves it. I will use this again! I did use 1 lb of hamburger and doubled the recipe.
09/15/2008
My Mom made this when I was a kid. I forgot all about it until my boyfriend wanted me to make one of his Mom's recipes. It was this one, and it's still good comfort food.
09/09/2003
real family pleaser ,even our 2 1/2 year old loved it and she hardly eats anything!!!!!!!!!!
03/06/2007
Good. A bit too much sauce. Definitely cut down on the milk. I used canned mixed vegetables in place of the green beans. It's just super cheap comfort food, so if you're looking for something amazing, move on.
08/24/2010
I made changes after reading other reviewer's suggestions: I used more beef and less milk. This was a good, but simple recipe that reminded us of a high school favorite. Thanks Drew!
09/29/2009
As far as the recipe goes, it turned out perfectly. My kids only thought it was ok and my husband and I just didn't really care for it. It was an quick and easy recipe to make. The flavor was alright. I think if I were to make soemthing like this again I would use mashed potatoes instead of tater tots and have a sort of shepards pie.
03/14/2006
I added montreal steak seasoning to the hamburger and some worchestire sauce. I added mushrooms and layered velveeta cheese on top of the soup mix before adding the tots. Everyone loved it! including two picky toddlers.
10/24/2006
Very good and very easy recipe. Everyone devours it- even my four year old who is a very picky eater. I dont add the milk, doesnt need it. even tastes good the next day.
