Most of us remember eating “Tater Tot Casserole” growing up. It seems that everybody’s mom had their own version. It usually consisted of some sort of cream of whatever soup, ground beef, a veggie – usually corn or green beans and tater tots. While that version is great, I personally think this casserole is better! My family just loves it …. and yours will too! It’s super easy to make and is a nice variation of the classic! Enjoy!

What a great idea I'm almost thinking of mixing the tots with the sausage and making pancakes? Hmmh. thanks for sharing this with us on foodie friday.
Pizza is my favorite food, so ill try it! Found you at Country Cook Weekend Potluck!
I'm not sure that's something my mom ever made..if so it was rare. I like this version with more of a pizza flair though, sounds yummy!
That would be a great easy supper one night. (From one Jamie to another! I like how you even have your name spelled "right". lol!) Pinning so I remember to try it!
My mom never made it but I have – a lot! This variation sounds wonderful!
Love this, Jamie! Pinning!
I think I led a very sheltered childhood. Mom never made tater tot casserole! I've seen it here and there though and I have to agree–pizza sounds better!
That does sound good! I've honestly never tried a Tater Tot casserole but I can see the kids would love it.
I have yet to make Tater Tot Casserole, however it is in our Family Reunion Cookbook, as my Auntie has been making it for years, along with a few other family memories.
Very catchy name and it looks delicious! We do not have tater tots {it's a potato kind of thing?} Do you think I can sub that with frozen hashbrowns? Pinned, but I would like to make a note re the tater tots :-)Thanks Jamie!
