Spicy Tater Tot Casserole

Is there one meal you can remember eating growing up? We have eaten tater tot casserole as long as I can remember. That’s one meal my Mom always made. Super simple, and so tasty. My spicy tater tot casserole is just a spin on an old favorite.

Spicy Tater Tot Casserole

Just brown some ground beef and onions, drain the grease, add the soup and stir it up. Next, pour the meat mixture into a 13 x 9 baking dish. Add sour cream on top of the ground beef, then sprinkle with cheese, top with tater tots and pop it in the oven. No need to cover it.

Let it cook for about 45 minutes and serve it up.! So simple and very satisfying!

Diced green chilies would be great to add to this as well as some sliced green onions.

      We’re vegetarians, so I used cream of mushroom soup, Bocas Burger crumbles, and used a mild cheese since my wife doesn’t like things spicy. It’s a keeper. I didn’t even have to add salt. Thanks!
