AWESOME! Everyone enjoyed this on Xmas morning! I took a few tips from the reviews, using a 9x13 pan and adding 1/2 cup crumbled bacon. I will definitely make this again (and will probably hold out a bit of the sausage and add some green onion and mushrooms). This is a the perfect recipe for company!

I tried this mostly out of curiosity because I had heard it referenced on that "13 and Pregnant Again" show, thinking of the recipe as an oddity, much like the family from the show. Well, turns out it was a super crowd-pleaser (especially with the short ones), so I suppose I will make it again--just not soon since it's so fattening. As other reviewers suggested, I cooked the tots first, added a bit of garlic powder to the beef, and added about a cup of cheese over the tots before layering the soup. OH! and if I had it to do over again I would have held the fried onions out until 15 minutes before it was done. I had to foil them to keep them from burning. Overall, good comfort food. Will make again!

this was filling, but was definitely missing something. don't know if it needed cheese or Rotels or Tony's but it needed more flavor for sure. might try it again.
