Very good! The whole family loved it! I did cut out the butter in the casserole and just used the butter on top!

This was very tasty and filling. I served this casserole up with some mixed fruit and green beans. The only thing that was missing was hamburger meat. Next time I will add meat to the casserole.

I have been making this for a couple of years and I recieve nothing but raves about it. My children's friends now ask for it when they come to dinner. I usually make it without the topping, but either way is GREAT!!!

This is a great & easy recipe! It was a hit at my housewarming party. I didn't use the cornflakes & extra butter and just kept it to the parm cheese & some extra chedder on top. I would go easy on the onions too.

This is a good recipe, we omit half of the butter, and don't usually make it with cornflakes. The recipe needed a little punch, so we added a pepperjack cheese instead of cheddar, which helps a lot. The biggest drawback to this recipe is that although it tastes great and is easy to make, it is so unhealthy, 150% of your daily recommended fat intake in one serving. Ugh. We only make it once in a while (it's ok to have junk food occasionally).

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy!!!! I wanted this to be a dinner entree so i did the following. 1 lb ground beef browned, then I added in 1 cup of frozen chopped onion and 1 cup of frozen mixed veggies to the pan of beef. Seasoned this with herbs de province and then placed it in the bottom of the casserole dish. Instead of using 1)10.5 oz can of soup I used a large Family size can of Campbells Cream of mushroom and reduced the amount of sour cream i used. Topped the beef with the tater tot mixture and then sprinkled additional cheddar cheese and parm on top. Then I topped this with these new cracker crisps that Lays has come out with. They are their new Air Cracker crips in the cheddar flavor. melted the butter, combined the crackers with and topped the casserole. It was really good and even 10 times better 2 days later when we ate the left overs. DEFINATELY A KEEPER!! THANK YOU!!

Sorry, but this was overpoweringly rich for us.

This is a great base recipe. To make it more of a complete meal, I added: ground beef, a can of green beans and an extra can of soup. I also sautéed the onions prior to baking. This makes a lot of food. When cooking this for myself, husband and my 1 year old - I could half this recipe and still have enough to re-heat for the dinner the following night.

I added 1 lb ground beef, halved the butter and used crushed cheez-its instead of corn flakes. yum!

I added 1 Pound Zesty Pork sausage, and some fresh garlic rather than powder, and I omitted 1/2 Cup Softened butter. I also used a box of white cheddar cheeze-its rather than corn flakes. It smelled fantastic, and tasted alright. I think there's too much sour cream, that's coming from a sour cream addict! NEXT TIME I make this, I will do the same changes I noted above, but halve the sour cream and add in another can of soup-- cream of chicken & Mushroom or something like that.

I made this for my family tonight. I suggest not adding any additional salt as it made the dish too salty. I also did as another reviewer suggested and left off the cornflakes and used Durkee French Onions( be sure to cover half way through baking if you use these because they tend to burn if left uncovered too long)

Very good and easy. A new family favorite. Only changes made, based on other reviews: reduced softened butter to 1/4 cup, reduced sour cream to 8 oz and replaced excess w/8 oz cream of mushroom soup.

Yummo! I have never had anything like this before. I eliminated all the butter, sauted the onion and mixed it with the cheese, sour cream & soup (I used cream of celery). I spread the soup mixture on a casserole dish then topped with the potatoes and didn't put the cornflake topping on. The potato went nice & golden brown on top & the bottom went all soft & creamy in the sauce. Can't wait to make this again.

I made this wonderfull recipe for a party I had at my home. Everyone loved it! I did make two changes. The picture didn't look very good with the corn flakes. Instead, I used grated crakers in butter and sprinkled that over the top. I also didn't use the paprika.

YUM! I don't remember ever tasting tater tot casserole that was actually good! We omitted the corn flakes, and it was delicious!

This dish was quite tasty...I would only change the "Corn Flake" cereal topping...I would suggest that you use a crumbled up "Cheez-It" crackers topping instead...the "Corn Flake" topping was a little too chewy for me.
