My Daughter is visiting and cooked this up for us. It was amazing. So good. I teach a class teaching youth how to cook up healthy meals. I think I might like to try this one, as it’s easy to make and even my husband that doesn’t like sour cream didn’t even taste the sour cream in this meal.
This casserole is AMAZING!! My husband loves burgers so he loved it and our little one enjoyed it as well. I used ground turkey instead of ground beef(added more seasoning and Worcestershire) and added a few table spoons of ketchup and mustard after cooking the meat to give it an extra burger taste! Delicious!
Very good. Glad there is some leftover for lunch tomorrow.
Super easy cut recipe in half but was very tasty will add to rotation! I love tater tot casserole and this just adds different spin 🍽 yum bacon and sour cream you can’t go wrong
Added Montreal steak seasoning, onions, ketchup and dill pickle relish. So good!!!
Sounds delicious!
I like your ideas, Jean. If you made the full 9×13 recipe, how much dill pickle relish did you use? Thank you!
I made this recipe tonight and I was very, very delicious! Thank you for sharing it with us!
Since my husband is not a fan of tator tots, wonder if you couldn’t just use raw diced potatoes? Might have to try it.
I made this tonight put a twist on the recipe and it was amazing!! I had to cook some sirloins so I used steak and bacon, I like to have a little kick to my dishes so I used a heaping tablespoon of pico, chopped some onion added garlic and I used nacho cheese sauce no soup. I cooked the meats separate from the pico, cheese sauce onion 1/2 cup sour cream once the sauce was warm I mixed the meat in. I cooked the tots then layered tots mixture tots topped it with shredded cheese baked for 10 min broiled the last few to golden the cheese. Yummy!!!
Sounds delicious!
What can you use instead of cheese soup for gluten free?
I made this recipe dairy free. I used dairy free sour cream, dairy free cheese & instead of cream of cheddar soup I used the daiya brand Mac n cheese sauce! It actually tastes the same as the original recipe 🙂
Hi. How can I make this gluten free for a friends family ? Thanks y’all
I love how easily folks can play with this recipe to make it their own. I really think that it started out as the traditional tater tot casserole and just got twisted a bit here and there to become a whole new (yummy) bacon cheeseburger tater tot casserole! One note: I make tater tot casserole and funeral potatoes and after dozens of times, I found that low fat or even better non fat sour cream work better for these recipes. They have a better taste when cooked in the dish than the regular sour cream does. Crazy, I know, but it’s true.
I ALWAYS precook the tots for at least 1/2 the normal cooking instructions…. avoids soggy tots
Best tator tot casserole ever
Could you use heavy cream or milk instead of sour cream… not a fan.
The best thing in this casserole and is fantastic is cream of bacon soup, in place of the cheese soup ,leave out the bacon and it cuts calories to The flavor is fantastic
I took some pointers from other folks here and added onion (and garlic) to the ground beef, with a little seasoning salt. Used tater rounds and some cut in half tater tots as topping only, and gave them a light shake of Cajun seasoning. Topped with some additional cheese the last 5 minutes in the oven. Since I modified a little, I won’t star rate, but BOY was it tasty!
Is there anything I can substitute the cheese soup for?
You can use any can of cream of soup you have on hand.
