This was a fun recipe to play with. I changed it a little by using only 1/2 cup onion, 1 pound of ground burger, 3 TBSP of worchestershire sauce and sauted these all together for 10 minutes and the burger was cooked through. Then I put one can of cream of mushroom soup, 1 can milk (used the same can), 1 tsp garlic powder and 1 bag frozen mixed vegetables (peas, corn, carrots, beans) into a 9 X 13 casserole dish and mixed it all together. Threw on about 1 1/2 cups cheese and a little pinch of salt all over. Covered with the thawed tots and a little more cheese. OH MY GOSH! My kids had two helpings each! So did my husband, and he was not thrilled about the mixed veggies. Everyone loved it! Thanks for the great idea!

SCRUMPTIOUS!!!! Very easy, fast & fun dinner...Never have left overs when I make this dish. I make it without the sausage and it taste great.

My husband loves it!!!

For me, this recipe was not worth the calories and fat that are packed in it. Like other reviewers said, it was pretty bland and greasy.

This recipe turned out pretty good, but not nearly as flavorful as I would have thought. I even added garlic and onion powder to the meat (teaspoon each). It was a simple recipe, however, and has definite potential if someone can figure out a good spice ratio.

bland and tasteless

This was Awesome. Thank you for sharing. It came out taste and crunchy. My family loved it. I did add a little cheese on top. Perfect.

I learned how to make this casserole in home economics in high school (minus the pork sausage). It was good then but does nothing for me now. It wasn't totally awful...it was just ok...I won't be making it again. Sorry :(

This was great. I doubled the green beans and added a can of Ro-Tel to the meat mixture and used cram of celery onstead of mushroom, then topped with cheddar cheese. It was a great hit with all my kids. I will be making this one again and again.

This is great and easy to make after working all day.

This is a very good meal for busy people. I cooked everything on Sunday (browned the meat, put together the soup and veggies) and then just got the bags out of the fridge later and put it all together. It reheats well. My changes:i spiced the meat with dry onion soup, and did a can of green beans and a can of corn. i spiced the whole casserole with hot sauce, cumin, and cayenne.

Aweful - salty - mush. I will not make this again.

this recipe makes a lot! for the two of us, was more than enough. Based on other reviewers, I doubled the green beans. I thought it was a little bland, even after spicing it up with some onion powder. The green beans were perfect, although hubby wanted me to cut down on both the meat and the green beans. Perhaps half the beef and sausage next time. Overall, very easy and with some modifications will be done again!

This was a good quick casserole that was easy to make. It did not require any fancy or strange ingredients that I didn't already have. My husband and I thought it was pretty good. I used Johnny's Seasoning Salt for spice since some of the reviews said it was bland, and I added cheese as suggested. My kids wouldn't eat it because of the onions so I think next time I'll leave those out and add in corn (as other reviewers suggested).

This was pretty good and great as a started recipe. I used frozen green beans instead of canned. I also used spicy hot sausage and that gave it quite a kick. I also gave the recipe to my sister and she said it was a great hit when she had company over for dinner.

Sorry, but we didn't care for this at all. It needed more flavor.

I have better "tater tot casserole" recipes that I will stick with. This is not it!
