tator tot casserole


after hearing a bunch of people talk about making tator tot casserole recently, i thought i would give it a shot.
it sounded too yummy to pass up!
i found a recipe that i thought would work but added a few extras for flavor & nutrition...this isn't the healthiest thing i have ever made!
blake & i both enjoyed it and it was even good the next day reheated.
here is the recipe:
INGREDIENTS:
2 lbs ground beef
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teapsoon ground pepper
1/2 yellow onion chopped (optional)
16 oz frozen bag of mixed veggies- whatever you prefer (optional)
1 can of condensed cream of mushroom soup- low fat, low sodium
1 cup of sour cream- light
2 cups of cheddar cheese (split)
1 frozen bag of tator tots
DIRECTIONS:
preheat oven to 400.
brown the beef with onion, salt & pepper until cooked through.
drain & place into 9x13 (sprayed) baking dish.
place veggies over beef- as much or as little as you would like. i used entire bag.
mix soup & sour cream in separate bowl.
layer on top of veggies.
top with 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
layer bag of tots on cheese.
cook for 30 min.
sprinkle tots with remaining cup of cheese.
cook for 5-10 min or until cheese is melted.
it's that simple!
ENJOY & happy tuesday!!

Sounds Yummy! This looks like something Jon would love! Thanks for all your sweet comments on our blog! We had a middle name all along because we are using my Grandma's middle name. We just couldn't decide on a first name :) I think we've got it now so we'll post soon! Can't wait to hear what y'all have picked out!
