Meat & Potato Style Tater Tot Casserole
"This is such a wonderful hearty one dish meal. I love the sour cream and cheese mixture in this. If your family is a meat/potato kinda family then they will go crazy over this. This is a combination of many different recipes rolled into one to meet my family's picky needs at the table."

ingredients
- 2 1⁄2 lbs ground beef
- 32 ounces oreda tater tots
- 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup (undiluted can)
- 2 1⁄2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1⁄2 cup milk
- 16 ounces sour cream
- 1 (15 1/4 ounce) can sweet corn
- 3 tablespoons chopped green onions
- salt & pepper
directions
- Brown and drain ground beef.
- Mix ground beef, cream of chicken soup, cheese, milk, sour cream, corn and onions all together.
- I salt and pepper the mixture to taste.
- Spread mixture evenly in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish or pan. The pan will be VERY full but it will all fit. I just line the bottom of my oven with foil just in case.
- Cover the mixture with the entire bag of tater tots making sure to spread them evenly. I lay most on their sides and some upright and then kind of smash them down into the mixture a little. I give them a good smashing and smash as much as i can so just the tops of the tots are showing.
- Bake uncovered in a preheated 350°F oven for about 45 minutes.
- You can also sprinkle a little teeny bit of cheddar cheese on the top if you want.
- Step away from the table because your meat eaters will LOVE this.
- YOU CAN USE MORE SOUR CREAM AND CHEESE DEPENDING ON YOUR TASTE! I SOMETIMES USE A LOT.

Made this recipe and added our own "extras" to it after reading the reviews. LOVED the zip the sour cream gave. I used cream of mushroom soup, corn AND 2 cups of green beans & 1 medium onion, chopped to the mixture. I did saute the onions with the beef after draining the grease off. The green onions I added towards the end of the baking cycle along with the reserved cheese and we really liked it. Thanks for posting -
I liked this but my hubby wasn't crazy about it. I totally forgot to add the corn but it was still tasty to me. Since hubby wasn't crazy about it I'm going to use it as a lunch option for the kids during the summer instead of for dinner. I used cream of celery soup as someone else suggested. -
This was not a winner for my family. We do the "typical" TTC recipe often, so I decided to try this when I realized I was missing an ingredient for the other. I DID like some aspects...the addition of a veggie (I used corn), the sour cream, the tater tots on top, but I have to say the Cream of Chicken soup in a beef recipe skeeved me out. I did not like that. Next time, I will use Cream of Mushroom (or onion, or celery). -
I liked this; the flavor was great. I tried to make this ahead and freeze it, thinking it would be a nice dish for that. However, the tater tots disentegrated into little potato pieces, instead of holding together. Maybe, if I try that trick, again, I'll freeze it, and add the tator tots after it's cooked and thawed, a little. -
we had this last night for dinner and it was great! I think the sour cream and the green onions are what really set this apart from other tater tot topped casseroles. Easy to prepare. I had my older son make this before I returned home from younger son's baseball game. Served with a green salad for a complete, simple meal. Thanks, Heather, for a recipe that will definitely be reapeated at our house!
