Truly the BEST Tater Tot Casserole recipe around! Layers of amazing flavor combine for an easy and delicious dinner any night of the week! This fantastic casserole recipe will quickly become a family favorite! Love casseroles as much as we do?
Easy dinners are my favorite and I’m a big fan of casseroles, as you well know 🙂 As a mom with two active boys, I’m all about fast and easy dinners that my boys will actually eat. The boys play sports year-round and with me or my husband always running in run direction or another with various practices, our family relies on recipes like this delicious and easy Tater Tot Casserole.
I love this easy tater tot casserole recipe because it takes only a handful of ingredients and most can be found in my pantry. I frequently have ground beef and tater tots in the freezer so this meal is one I can pull together quickly and easily.
You may have a Tater Tot Casserole before and chances are you were less than impressed. There are so many variations out there but I truly believe that this one is the best.
I make my tater casserole with green beans but if I don’t have those on hand, my second favorite is a tater tot casserole with corn. Both are delicious!
What Ingredients Are In a Tater Tot Casserole
I start with really lean ground beef and brown it nicely before adding in diced onion and garlic. I season with salt and pepper and add some Worcestershire sauce before throwing it all into a prepared casserole dish. Now it’s time for the easy layers. A can of cream of mushroom soup goes on next. Please, use the “healthy” or “low-sodium” option. (This tater tot casserole with cream of chicken is also a good option.)
Next a can of green beans and again, low-sodium works perfectly. Finally lots of cheddar cheese followed by the frozen tater tots.
Ingredients
1 lb lean ground beef (the leaner the better)
1/2 onion , diced
2 cloves garlic , minced
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
15 oz can green beans , drained
10.75 oz can condensed cream of mushroom soup
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups frozen tater tots
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F.
Lightly grease an 8 or 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat.
Add the onions to the skillet and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until translucent.
Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for an additional minute.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer ground beef mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Top with cream of mushroom soup, followed by green beans, followed by the cheddar cheese. Make sure to season the green bean layer.
Finally, top with tater tots.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until tater tots are golden brown and cheese is melted.
Serve immediately.
