Cheesy Burger Bake
"This is a quick dinner that kids love! I'd never used frozen Tater Tots before, but I found this recipe and made it for my son. It has sort of a burger and french fry taste and he gobbled down several servings, saying he wished I'd make this all the time."

This was easy to put together. My kiddos were more interested in the tater tots though than in the actual casserole. I did double the recipe for a 9x13 pan. Next time I will leave the recipe the way it is and just double the tater tots. :) I really enjoyed the flavors. Made for the May 2010 Aussie/NZ recipe swap. -
Loved this! So easy to do and both hubby & toddler DD devoured it. Thanks for posting! -
This was a good change from the usual tater tot casserole that is made with cream soup. I think I should have drained my tomatoes better (maybe pressed the liquid out) because as they cooked, more liquid came out of them which then made the tater tots a bit soggy. Next time I will be sure to drain them better. Thx for the recipe.

Our family moved to Florida from New York in the 90's, so I've brought not only many of the recipes my family has passed down, but have learned to cook some great Southern dishes as well.? When I found RZ, it opened up a whole new world of cooking -- cuisine from different countries, tried-and-true family hand-me-down recipes, and some interesting and delicious dishes I would never have found on my own.
