Yummy Yummy Yummy!!! I added some hamburger meat to the bottom of the casserole. I am making it again tonight, but will saute the onions first b/c some of the family members didn't like the crunch. But we all loved it!!!!

Yummy! Though I changed it a bit due to ingredients on hand/personal preference. My changes included: Add 1 lb browned ground beef Add 1 package onion soup mix Remove: onions, other seasonings. Halved the butter as others suggested. Did not add the cornflake/butter topping. I had no topping-type stuff on hand, so I just baked 'as is'. Delicious! Probably next time, I would layer half the tater tots on top, though, to brown up and hold shape better. Very comforting food!

I thought this recipe was very good. I was looking for something to make with my leftover ham. So, I added cubed ham. I didn't have cream of chicken soup, so I added cream of celery. I enjoyed the corn flake crust on top. Yummy!! Thanks for sharing!

I opted not to use the cereal, parmesan or paprika and it turned out just fine. This is one of those recipes you cannot live without. It proves to be the perfect last minute easy recipe that we all need once in a while. It's delicious and easy and is the perfect heart warming meal! 5 stars for sure.

This was pretty good. Not worth the calories in my opinion. I made it for my husbands company's thanksgiving party and people enjoyed it.

Made this recipe last night... I didn't have cereal so I used crushed crakers. My husband and I liked it...youngest son said it tasted like too much butter. Next time that I make it, I'll cut back on the butter.

Soo good! This is a great recipe. I had been holding onto the recipes for a few months and finally made it last night. I did make a few substitutions: Instead of tater tots I used 2 lbs. bag of frozen hash browns(the loose, small cubes)and I added 1 c. of Hormel Bacon Bits. Also, the next time I make it, I will add cubed ham and use Panko flakes mixed with the butter for the topping instead of the corn flakes. I really like the corn flake topping but other family members didn't share the same opinion.

With some tweaking this would be great. bake the tater tots and get them nice and crispy. all the butter, sour cream, and soup really make it a mushy mess oterwise. i added a pound of ground beef and cooked the cup of onion in a little bit of butter before adding it to everything in step two. CALORIES CALORIES CALORIES!iI'm sure there is a way to cut the fat, i just havent figured it out yet. But my boyfriend almost passed out he was so overjoyed w/ the end result!

I have not eaten a tater tot in many years but there have been many changes in my life recently which have changed my cooking needs! Cooking for kids! We all loved this and will make it regularly from now on! I combined two tater tot casserole recipes from this site, III & IV and added my own touch. Greased 9x11, layered mushroom soup, 2 cans beans and dried onion rings. Browned hamburger and sausage on top of onions. Topped meat with III and sprinlked with paprika. Baked 45 min. Then topped with more dried onion rings and popped back in the oven for 5 minutes.This was so good and will be a great leftover! My boss made the meatless version and her family loved it too!

That was exactly the type of tater-tot recipes I was looking for. Very yummy...a little too onion-y because of the tater tots already have some flavor, but I liked it. Will make again.

I didn't think there was necessarily something wrong with the recipe... I just don't like the way it tastes, as did everyone else. I still have 90% of it and will have to throw it away.

Made this for my family, to try ahead before taking it to a potluck. We love the usual hashbrown potato casserole recipes, but this was a little too salty and rich for our tastes, I'm sure because the tater tots are already pre-seasoned. I would probably hold off on the seasoned salt if I were to try it again.

This is an easy, delicious recipe. Like others, I omit the butter (the cornflakes still crisp without it). I also sometimes make it more of a rounded meal by adding ham or ground beef and veggies like peas and green beans to the mixture.

This recipe was yummy! My kids really enjoyed it, and so did I and my husband. I made a few changes though. I didn't have cornflakes so I used regular saltine crackers and poured the melted butter over them. Also, I used frozen tator tots (for lack of time to thaw them), and I cooked it for about 1 hr. 15 minutes. I covered it with foil for the entire time except about 15-20 minutes. When I uncovered, I watched until the cracker were nicely browned them removed it from the oven. The sour cream makes it very rich, so you could probably adjust the amount to your liking. This would be very good if you added chopped ham, or for breakfast added crumbled sausage. Yummy!

Bea, I tried this recipe for a bring along dish, and I was asked several times for the recipe. It is one of those old fashioned comfort foods that people still love. I was out of cornflakes cereal, so I used buttered crackers, which I crushed, and sprinled a few fried onions on as well before drizzling the melted butter on. I also sauteed the butter and onion together before adding the other ingredients into the bowl(I love that particlular taste), so maybe that added to it as well. It is now one of my favorites-thanks again!

I fixed this the other night with a few modifications: * When mixing all the ingredients, instead of using 1/2 c. butter, I cut it down to 2 TBSP. * I omitted the Parm. cheese and paprika. * I used mild cheddar. * I didn't thaw the tater tots. * I added cooked ground beef with onion to the mix. * I added basil & meat tenderizer (with the meat). Overall, this is very similar to the popular hash brown potato salad. This didn't seem very dinner-y to me, more for a potluck. Because it's a little sloppy, my son wouldn't touch it. It might sit heavy on your stomach with the dairy content -sour cream, cheese, butter - so make sure you're not watching your calories with this one. Because my tater tots were frozen, it took a little while longer to cook and I spread foil underneath my pan to catch any bubbling over (which didn't happen with me). And a tip, unless you're using a glass baking dish, spray Pam, or you might be scrubbing.
