Great idea – Thank you for sharing!
when making this do you cook the tater tots first or put the on top of hamburger frozen
I made this casserole super easy ! I put 1 can of Cambells cheddar cheese soup in the mix. Came out great ! I will be making this again ! It didn’t say in the original recipe to drain the hamburg grease but, I always do. I’m putting this in the comments so if you happen to read this you wont forget this step. 🙂
I’ve made this recipe before and it was a hit with everyone. Except my daughter thought it was too spicy, she doesn’t like pepper much. I was thinking it could have been the steak seasoning, all I had was Montreal Steak Seasoning. So tonight I am omitting that and see how it tastes. What other steak seasoning would you recommend? I love all the different ideas.. I can’t wait to try them. Thank you for everything!! ?
I generally use Montreal as well but have used McCormick’s as well and I liked that too!
This recipe is a definite go to! My family kids pretty picky and they loved this!!
One of my favorites from my childhood! This is super easy to make and very inexpensive. You get a lot of meals out of it!
This is a great family recipe that all those picky eaters will love. It’s an easy recipe, inexpensive, & oh so yummy.
This is definitely comfort food. I only buy grounder sirloin so for fear of it being too dry I added some homemade cream of mushroom soup. Also added a can of green beans to make it a one dish meal. Not only did I have no complaints from picky eaters but everyone wanted seconds.
This is great to hear – thank you for sharing!
Delicious recipe! I love how it’s a complete dinner!
Thank you love the easy cheeseburger tater tots recipe.
I have two boys that are picky eaters that don’t like vegetables and beans so this recipe popped up and I tried it and the wife loves it everyone loves it so I want to thank you for this recipe because now the boys are asking for it twice a week.
I’m so glad they are loving it.
