Why I Love this Easy Tater Tot Casserole

I love this Tater Tot Casserole recipe for a few reasons. First, it is very easy to prep and pop in the oven. I don’t know about your house but around dinner time things seem to get chaotic here, so getting this ready, in the oven, and freeing up that hour before dinner is a big bonus for me.

Secondly, my kids LOVE this recipe, my oldest is almost twelve and he spends the entire dinnertime telling me just how good it is, every bite gets me another compliment…its good for the ego!

Tater Tot Casserole is just one of those easy dinners that proves to be a winner every single time. I like to serve it with green beans or peas to add a veggie and boom, dinner is served!

What Ingredients are in Tater Tot Casserole?

Like most similar recipes this Tater Tot Casserole starts with ground beef browned on the stovetop. Then, instead of using cream of mushroom soup or sour cream, we’ve given this a Bacon Cheeseburger twist with the addition of bacon and both cheddar cheese and cream cheese. Oh, my mouth is watering just watching that cheese melt!
