Cookdap Community Tips and Praise
“Delicious,” raves Lori Hankins Carter. “I added onion rings (the kind on green bean casserole) and mixed it with the tater tots. Really good!”
"My husband and son eat this like they've been starving for weeks," says one Cookdap community member. "Leftovers don't last long. I substituted cream of onion soup for the cream of mushroom and we found we liked it even better!"
“I love this quick, easy meal,” according to Misti Fletcher. “I add the frozen seasoning blend when cooking the ground beef (onion, bell pepper, etc) and sometimes add corn to make it a complete meal.”
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef

This popped up this a.m. and remiinded me of how long it’s been since I’d fixed this quick & delicious casserole. Versatile…turkey, beef, pork, lamb meats, tomato or cream based soups work, add a layer of grean beans, carrots or corn and you have a complete meal. Vary the spices & it’s a new casserole each time you make it. Thanks barryzimm for bringing back one of our faves.

I love this recipie. My family has used it for years. It is something thay you can even make the day before and put in your fridge. I do add a few things though, after i brown my hamburger I add fresh or canned mushrooms as well as some frozen vegetables. You can add what ever you want. I usually add corn and peas. I also put some cheese under the tatertots and a little on top of the tater tots. This allows them to get crispy.

Very good ‘on a budget’ meal. added some sauteed onion, and used Lawry’s seasoning salt and black pepper. Mixed some of the cheese in with the ground beef, put the rest on top and then added tater tots.Was done in 35 minutes, tater tots were crisp. Would definitely make again.

Pretty tasty stuff. I did my own thing with it though. While browning the beef I seasoned it with onion powder, garlic powder, freshly ground black pepper, and a smidge of salt. I chopped up one small onion, and after draining the beef I mixed the beef, cream of mushroom soup, and chopped onions together and let them simmer a bit. Then poured the mixture into a 10×10 casserole dish. I added sharp cheddar. Then put the tots on, then added triple cheddar shredded cheese on top of the tots. My family loved it including my 2 year old who typically doesn’t eat beef!

Love this recipe! I did make a few alterations though. I added one packet of onion soup mix to the ground beef and I also added cheese under the potatoes as well. I served this with a side salad and garlic bread, fabulous meal!

This was good, if a little bland. If I make it again I’ll do so with tomato soup as the other reviewer suggested, or ketchup or something. I also thought it was too shallow, so I’d double the filling or use a smaller dish.

I made this last night for supper and we loved it. I added one cup of sliced celery and mixed most of the cheese with the beef mixture. I will be making this again and again.

I saw this recipe and thought “easy but bland”. I added leftover black bean dip, onions, green pepper, and other stuff….easy peasy. Now I know this can be my go-to recipe when I have a bit of leftovers and need to use it up; ’cause everything goes with meat and tater tots!!!!

I have used this recipe for years. It was a favorite of one of the ladies in our church and always appeared at pot-lucks.
Nick—-it may not be the “nuevo cuisine” you are probably use to eating—but as a former home economist, it definitely isn’t trash cooking. Most families and kids love it and it certainly is an economical dish to prepare. Serve it with a green salad or green veggies if the nutrition level upsets you. -

Really good comfort food. I browned some onions with the ground beef (used ground chuck) and added garlic powder. Used low fat mushroom soup. Forgot to put in the cheese and my husband told me afterward that he never liked this with cheese when I made it before. Happy accident. Will make this again with these changes.

My family loves this meal. I saute some onions and throw in a small package of frozen green beans or spinach and it’s a hit! I have also used what other ground meat is on hand, turkey or chicken, and other “cream of” soups and it is great.

I thought this was very good and my 5 year old loved it. The first time I made it exactly like the recipe. It was good, but felt like the tator tots were a bit dry on top of the casserole. The second time I made it I placed the ground meat, I used turkey, on the bottom and then placed the tater tots on top of the meat. I mixed together cream of mushroom soup with a tblsp of ketchup and a tblsp of worcestershire and poured it on top of the meat and potatoes. I then placed shredded cheese over the entire dish. This was very moist and yummy! Will definitely make again!

My family loves when I make this simple meal. I add onion and garlic to the beef. When I am assembling it in the casserole dish, I top the beef with a layer of frozen veggies, then a little cheese before adding the tater tots. Really is yummy.

I was pondering how to twist the flavors so I experimented. Instead of Beef I used 3 cups of leftover turkey (cubed) and replaced the can of soup with a cup and a half of turkey gravy and a HALF can of soup. I added a little extra flour to thicken it up a bit. Because of the flavor in my homemade gravy, I didn’t need any onion but add it to taste. I poured the mixture into a casserole dish as usual and sprinkled shredded cheddar cheese to lightly cover it then added a drained 10 oz can (roughly) of French green beans. I usually use a few extra Tots to help with texture. I finished with crumbled Sausage stuffing left over from Thanksgiving as well. Season Salt and Black pepper and into the oven for 40 minutes exact @ 350. It is an incredible journey into the holidays any time of year.
Gravy tips– Saut? some onions and celery in a stick of butter and cook off 2 cans of veg broth with cut up dark meat and the skin (for flavor and fat content to thicken) After it simmers and takes on the flavor of the cooked bird, strain solids into a colander and Robot Coupe/Food Processor the mixture and add back to the cooked off broth for more flavor and texture. Thicken to your liking!!

I made this tonight in a cast iron skillet I like to do the one pot method when I can with 2 small kids. I added some onion and garlic as well as some herbs and spices per some bland reviews. I also added a bit of mustard and ketchup with worchishire sauce. I put the cheese under the tots and put in oven for 30 mins. My 18 month old is eating it now..I also made a green salad and some raw veggies for a healthy side dish…great kid friendly dish

So I have eight kids and I suppose my issue with meals are always, is it going to be enough? Will they be full enough? Oh geez and on top of TIME constraints! I mean, it’s hectic! This meal definitely did the job! I of course have to make a lot more than what the recipe above gives, but having leftovers for the kids, lunch time is made easy! My kids absolutely LOVE this meal and it’s VERY GOOD! And my husband and I are “3 course meals” type of people and LOVE our steak and chicken breast and such, THIS IS A WINNER….ALL DAY LONG!If you’re a family who likes less cleanup and easy/quick assembly….this is your meal!!

Teaching my daughter how to cook, she loved making it, it was so simple. The only thing different I do,(and only because my family is Mexican and love spicy food) I add some juice from the canned jalape?o peppers, to the mixture. My family loves!

I have made this recipe 3x now and I found a way that I like it. First time, followed the recipe exactly with the exception of adding 4 eggs and baking the tater tots 10 minutes before adding them. The result was good but I knew this recipe could be even better. Second time, I wanted to increase the flavor profile so I added a layer of sauteed vegetables: diced onions, peppers, mushrooms and zucchini but goofed by using turkey sausage. What I learned is that this tastes best with more salt and fat. Thus, the third time I made this I used regular pork sausage, a variety of veges (listed above) and more cheese. I built it like a lasagna: first layer sausage, than a little cheese, sauteed veges, a little more cheese, the tater tots, a little more cheese and finally poured in the egg mixture. And yes, of course, topped with a little more cheese. I baked it for 45 minutes and it came out perfect. Sorry, don’t know how much cheese I used but my family readily ate it.

I took the advice of another reviewer and added the packet of Lipton onion soup mix. That added great flavor! I’ll make it again with this twist. I also added green beans. My two teenage boys, who usually don’t like veggies mixed in with things, liked it a lot.

I used cubed rotisserie chicken, a bag of frozen potatoes obrian, 2 cans of cream of mushroom, & mozzarella. -

the meat mixture had zero flavor so the second time I made this I just made my shepherd’s pie recipe and put the tots on top of that instead of mashed potatoes . … much much better than this bland recipe that my kids just smothered in ketchup for some flavour!!

The recipe was very good, quick and easy. Instead on mushroom soup I used a can of beef gravy. I baked the tators for 10 minutes prior to adding them to the casserole. The shredded cheese (marble), I placed half the amount under the tators and the remainder over top. The gravy cheese and potatoes made it like a cross between a poutine and a sheppards pie 🙂

I doubled everything but instead of 2 cans of mushroom soup I substituted a can of cheddar cheese soup and added a can of corn (drained). Top servings with Mexican hot sauce.

I run a kitchen in a nursing home. We made this recipe this week for our residents. It was such a hit everyone came back for seconds and thirds!!!! Staff and family members had me print the recipe so they could make it home. I had my cook use Lawry’s instead of salt plus we cooked the burger with fresh onions, mushrooms & garlic. I’m making it for my family tonight??

I put in a teaspoon of minced garlic Worcestershire Sauce and Ketchup. Also about 2 cups of frozen mixed peppers and onions. I didn’t have any cream of mushroom soup so I used cream of broccoli and it tasted great. Layered the meat mixture and topped with Mexican cheese then tater tots after it was done I topped with more cheese.

Needed some major help in the flavor department. I added Montreal steak seasoning and beefy onion soup to the beef. I then used 1 can of cream of mushroom soup and 1 can of cream of mushroom soup with roasted garlic. I also used onion flavored tatortots. Sooooo much flavor! Will definitely make again. 3 picky kids all had seconds.

IT’s a good base recipe, but there is room for improvement. I added fresh chopped garlic and julienne basil at the very end of cooking the ground beef. It added a ton of extra flavor.

Did not like it at all. Was only able to finish it by smothering it in barbecue sauce. Skip it.

I did make changes because some of my family don’t like mushrooms so my daughter and I did ground beef, brown gravy, whole corn, cheese,and tater tots. Almost like sheppards pie. Was wonderful.

Very easy to make. I used a whole 32oz of tater tots, not just 16oz. Was very good. I also used more cheese.

This is a good basic casserole. It’s easy to put together, filling and fairly inexpensive. It’s tasty the way it’s written, but even better if you add your own flavor profiles.
I have made it several times and adapted it to what we had on had. For example…
Add to the ground beef
1 package taco seasoning (or make your own like I do)
1 package dry ranch mix.Replace the cheddar with Mexican cheese blend and top with black olives, minced onion and cilantro (I hate cilantro so I leave it off my portion)
Serve with sour cream and salsa.
I have also used chicken, black beans and even made a turkey version on time.

I double the ingredients, and add 2 cans of french cut green beans (drained) to 2 cans cream of mushroom soup. Ground beef on the bottom, beans and soup next, tots on top. Add the cheese the last 5 minutes, after the tots are brown and crispy. It a great comfort food on those -80 degree windchill nights.

Added salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, onions and green peppers. Could have more cream of mushroom soup and next time we will use hash crowns instead of tater tots. Pretty good overall.

I added onions in with the burger along with garlic powder, onion powder and seasoning salt. Also put green onions between the tater tots and cheese. It was delicious! Thank you for the recipe.

Pretty good. Cheap and easy to make. I did add onion to meat when browning and about 3/4 cup of mixed veg’s and I used less cheese. I prefer to mix cheese in with meat instead of on top. But that is all preference. This is a good basic recipe.

I made this dish tonight and it was amazing. I am vegetarian and replaced the ground beef with Morningstar Crumblers. The flavor was amazing, my meat-eating boyfriend was very happy and impressed!

I excluded the beef, and as per several comments on this recipe, I doubled the soup and mixed in frozen vegetables and a can of mushrooms. Very delicious!

I don’t care for mushroom soup, so I used cream of onion. I like it in my casseroles, as I usually don’t have to do the extra step of chopping onion. BJ

I was looking for a fairly quick recipe to use the pound of ground beef I needed to cook up . As I also had some tater tots languishing in my freezer, I thought this seemed a promising basic recipe to try. To amp up the flavor a bit, I added a chopped clove of garlic, some dried thyme and Montreal Steak seasoning to the meat as it cooked. Still, it was pretty bland. The layers and flavors all seemed to meld together — and not in a positive way. The tater tots topping was not crispy, despite me following some reviewers’ suggestions about putting down a layer of cheese between the meat and tater tots to help them stay crispier. I’m sure that helped, but not enough. All in all, this dish was a disappointment.

Easy enough. I have heard of this before. Kind of like shepherds pie. Not our family favorite, but in a pinch it worked.

Hope I didn’t ruin this dish. I put the tots down first and then the filling and another layer of tots on top. In the oven now. Fingers crossed.

I used this as a base recipe like I do with most. It’s very tasty and so easy to make! I added frozen green beans in the cream of mushroom soup mix and used onion flavored tater tots and French fried onions on top of the cheese, I used an 8×8 casserole dish and baked it an extra 10 minutes for extra crispiness! YUM!

It was pretty good. I used a smoked bacon cheddar cheese on top of the beef and soup mix. I coved the tots with coarse shredded white cheddar. Used broiler at the end to toast and brown the cheese and tots. YUM

So yummy and so simple. I make sure I get the extra crispy tater tots, add a half pack of cut up bacon, 2 cups of sharp cheddar, and 2 cups of medium cheddar. Easy, cheap, and delicious!

I love making tatertot casserole, but this is not an accurate recipe. It’s great for guidelines on how to make this, but there are better ones out there.

I give this recipe itself 4 Stars. once I put in a few additions, it became a 5 Star. first I added half an onion, chopped, to the ground beef. I also added a pinch of garlic powder. once I mix everything together, I add a small can of whole kernel corn and a small can of peas and carrots. once we tried it with a bag of frozen mixed veggies and we didn’t like the way the green beans changed the taste.
