Cheesy TatorTot Casserole


I love this hearty cheesy recipe for tator tot casserole in the summertime also without heating up the oven. I started originally making it this way long ago when we did not have an oven to use and only an electirc frypan but was craving TatorTot Casserole!
 Just brown up your hamburger mixture and deep fry your tator tots.. add a few cheese slices and melt in the microwave and your good to go!

:: Ingredients ::

1 pound ground beef
1 medium white onion (diced)
1 can mushroom stems and pieces
Salt and Pepper to Taste

1 10 oz can cream of mushroom soup
1 10 oz can peas and carrots (drained)
12 slices Cheddar Cheese or 2 cups cheddar cheese
1 32 ounce bag of Ore-Ida tator tots


:: Microwave Preparation ::

Note: While hamburger/onions are frying up... 
Deep fry / oven bake your tator tots according to directions on package and set aside.... to be layered on top of casserole.

1- Brown / Saute hamburger and onions, drain grease off.
2- Add in diced mushrooms, cream of mushroom soup, drained vegetables, salt and pepper to taste. Blend well together and keep warm on low heat in current pan. 
3-  Finish Tatortot process and gather together a glass casserole dish and your cheddar cheese. 
4- Add your hamburger Mixture to casserole dish, layer your cheese atop then layer the crispy tatortots. 
5- NOW microwave on high for about 5-8 mins til cheese melts. 

Let cool and enjoy! 
TatorTots stay Crispy and the Casserole is ooey gooey goodness!



:: Oven Preparation ::

1- Preheat your oven to 350 F.
2- Cook your ground beef in a large saucepan on medium heat for 6 minutes.
3- Dice your white onion and add it to your beef. Cook for 6 more minutes or until the beef has browned and is cooked all the way through.
4- Strain out excess fat from your saucepan.
5- Spread browned beef and onions in the bottom of a casserole dish (About 10x 16 ).
6- Spread Vegetables evenly on top of the beef.
7- In a separate bowl, stir together the cream of mushroom soup and the mushroom stems/peices.
8- Pour soup mixture evenly on top of the peas/carrots and beef in your casserole dish.
9- Layer your cheese slices or sprinkle cheddar cheese across the top of the casserole so that it forms an even layer on top of your ingredients.
10- Add FROZEN tater tots on top of the layer of cheese. Make sure you arrange them evenly, covering the entire casserole because this is going to be your crust. It is also helpful for serving purposes to arrange the tater tots in an even grid.
11- Place dish in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the tater tots begin to turn golden brown.
12- Let cool and enjoy!
