Yum! I did cook my tots a bit before adding them to the casserole, as well as adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce Thanks for the recipe!

Good recipe. I also added worchestershire to the hamburger and put about 1/2 the milk in. Turned out to be a very flavorful thick gravy that was great over the tater tots.

Yummy! I doubled the recipe and added mushrooms, onion & shredded cheese in the mixture and the also sprinkled some on top. Use half the amount of milk as others suggest. This is a new favorite for us!

I was skeptical, but wanted something one-dish and different. It came out pretty good! I used the low sodium cream of mushroom soup as the only liquid and thawed frozen green beans and a small can of mushrooms. My husband liked it, and I will make it again one day!

WOW this was soooo yummy!!! I sauteed lots of chopped onions, then mixed in the ground beef (one pound), and added Worcestershire, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Definitely cut back on the milk - I used about half a can. Instead of green beans I used mixed veggies and added a layer of shredded mexican blend cheese on top of the meat/soup mixture before putting the tater tots on top. We ate the whole pan in one sitting - my husband and kids were fighting over the last portion! Super easy, tasty, and filling!

This was a great base to start with, but we added a packet of onion soup mix. It added the zing it needed. YUM!

This is a great recipe only if instead of using a measuring cup for the 10.5 fluid oz. of milk, you use the cream of mushroom soup can for a can of milk, then you're set. Otherwise, it turns out really soupy. Also, I personally like to add a layer of about a 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese before I add my layer of tater tots.

Without the changes I made this would have been extremely bland. I doubled the recipe to make a 9 x 13 pan sized casserole. After I browned the ground beef I seasoned it with Montreal steak seasoning and a couple splashes of Worcestershire sauce. I used cream of potato soup instead of mushroom. I only used approx. 8 fluid ounces of milk for the doubled recipe. MAKE SURE YOU DRAIN THE GREEN BEANS!! I omitted the garlic salt. I layered the meat mixture, then a layer of cheddar cheese, then a layer of french fried onions, and then the tator tots. I served it with a dollop of sour cream.

This was good for what it is! It tasted like it was supposed to taste. If you want mostly bland comfort food, this is one of the originals!

A reminder of my childhood. My Mother fixed this for our family and we lost the recipe. I remember it being the best casserole as a child, taste change but still good!

As simple as this recipe was, it came out wonderful. I followed directions exactly. My husband isn't a "casserole" kind of guy but he LOVED it. My 19 year old son actually "licked" his plate. LOL I am now sending this recipe home with my son for him and his room mates to try themselves since it's so simple for them to make. Will make again!

Delicious and easy. My husband loves this one. He says it has everything a man needs -- meat, potatoes, and cheese (I like to sprinkle some shredded cheddar or jack cheese on top). One note- When I first put it together, I thought there was way too much liquid, but during cooking it all came together.

I have to give this 3 stars because there really is something missing from it. I grew up eating tator tot casserole and this just isn't the same. I'm not sure what is missing but I'm going to find out and find another recipe. This is good but not to my tastes really.

I have tried this twice now and I really tried to like it. I am not sure what it is about it that we don't like, but when the 7yr old rolls her eyes and says no...there is something missing.

It was alright. I made it because I thought my kids would like it. Maybe we dont eat this kind of food often enough though because they did not care for. I will not make it again.

My boyfriend is from the midwest and begged me to make him a hotdish! I'd never heard of it before, but he loved this recipe. Apparently, it's very authentic. Reducing the amount of milk and seasoning the meat like crazy are necessary changes, though. I added sauteed onion to the meat and lots of pepper and worchester. It's a crowd pleaser, none-the-less.
