There's nothing better on a cold winter's night than having some comfort food!! As much as I have always loved Tater Tot Casserole, I've never made it before. I only ever had it at Sharon & Diane's house when we were growing up. Diane made it for us when we all ate over there after Christmas, and she gave me the recipe.
Pre-heat oven to 350*.
2 lbs. browned & drained burger. Set aside.
1 can of Cream of Mushroom soup, undiluted
1 can of Cream of Chicken soup, undiluted
3/4 cup finely chopped celery.
3/4 cup finely chopped onion.
Saute' the onion and celery in some oil to soften.
Mix in the burger.
"Oh Hai! I sees you iz cookin meats? I can haz? Pweeze?" Sorry Beanie, not this time.
Mix in the 2 soups and heat mixture thoroughly.
Line bottom of 9 x 13 pan or glass baking dish with frozen tater tots. This recipe will call for almost 2 bags.
Pour burger mixture over the tater tots.
Line top with more tater tots.
Bake at 350* for one hour. Let sit for a few minutes after baking and serve hot with the veggie side of your choice....we like corn best.
Wonder if there's vegetarian version for idiot non-cooks?
ReplyDeleteYou could substitute the meat with the vegetable protein crumbles that look like chopped meat. I used to use that all the time to make shepherd's pie when I was vegetarian and it has the same texture as ground beef. Try it!
ReplyDeleteTater tots; unheard of in the UK (at least, in my part of it!)....until Vincent mentioned them ;0)
ReplyDeleteYou guys don't have tots????? They are soooo GOOD!
ReplyDeleteDidn't know you used to be a veggie, JoJo, why'd you stop?
ReplyDeleteBut there is another problem for me...I don't actually cook!
Never had Tater Tot Casserole but lived on just the Tots as a kid, LOL. The hashed browns at McDonald's reminds me of them...like a giant Tater Tot that's been ironed out.
