ABSOLUTELY loved it!! I did not include the pork and I did added some garlic cloves, garlic powder and topped the whole thing with lots of cheese. It was delicious!

I made it in an 8x8 pan w/ 1/2 the meat but all the green beans and soup. Very good. It took the whole 45 minutes to get the tater tots to cook through even with my too-hot (usually) oven.

I have made this before with just using ground beef. We all liked it much better by adding the sausage to this. I used a 9 x 13 dish so I added more green beans and I used 1 can Cream of Chicken soup as well as 1 can Cream of Mushroom soup. I did add a splash of milk when I mixed the meat, soups, and green beans all together. After I put that in the dish I covered the meat mixture with 2 cups of cheese. Then I topped it with the tater tots (I used frozen) and baked until it was bubbly and the tater tots were done.

Great recipe! I followed the suggestions of some other reviewers and added a can of corn and then doubled the soup. Also added some cheese on top at the end and then baked an additional five minutes. Soooooo good. My boyfriend loved it.

This was pretty tasty. I browned a pound of ground beef with chopped onion (I omitted the sausage). I used one can cream of mushroom and one can cream of celery, and added a couple spoonfuls sour cream. Next time I will thin the soup mixture with a little milk to make it creamier. One can of soup is NOT enough for this recipe - it would be too dry. With the soup I mixed in some frozen mixed veggies (corn, carrots, green beans and peas). Layered the ingredients as directed, but added shredded cheddar on top of the meat mixture, and then a little more cheese on top of the tots near the end of the baking time. The meat definitely needs seasoning if you want a more robust flavor. A good casserole for a cool autumn night.

This is one of those 'old standbys' in my family because it is versatile. If I am feeling zesty I can add something new and it becomes a whole new casserole.

I enjoyed this recipe alot! :) I did vary it after looking at other reviews. I only used ground beef, I also used an extra can of creamed soup, I used cream of celery along with the cream of mushroom, it would be too dry with only one can, I also added some sour cream to the soup mixture, and some spices such as garlic and onion powder,salt and pepper,a little worchestire and some seasoning salt and then when I did the layers, I added a can of corn and a can of rotel and some cheese and then added some cheese at the last 10 min to the top of the casserole. It was VERY tasty!!!! :)

I felt this dish was lacking the veggies that I normally use to make Tater Tot Hotdish! Kids love it and why not pump the veggies?! I always use cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and either a bag of frozen mixed veggies or 2 cans of mixed veggies! I also season my burger -- beef w/ no sausage -- using pepper, parsley, garlic and basil.

Talk about comfort! My family tried to balk at this dish, but once they tasted it, they were hooked. I did make a few changes. First, I used a package of frozen veggies and a can of diced potatoes. I used cream of chicken rather than mushroom, and I used 2 cans of it because the casserole seemed dry. I also cooked the tater tots for about 15 minutes before putting them on the casserole to make them crisper. I also put the cheese on the casserole before adding the tots so it bakes into the casserole. YUMMY!
