Tater Tot Casserole Recipe
‘Casserole’ can be a very bad word in my house, according to my incredibly picky girls. My kids are very particular with casseroles, most likely stemming from their tendency to stick their nose up at vegetables – and especially ones that are mixed together.
So, I made Tater Tot Casserole one night, just to show them that they can get excited about the term when it involves the kid-approved tater tots.
They gobbled this up so fast, without one complaint. It’s not a recipe we have on the weekly roll, but it’s nice now and then, treat-like!
Easy to make and sure to please both kids and adults, it’s a fun take on casserole.
Plus, it’s a nice way to mix up cooking tater tots, aside from the usual bake and serve as a side dish. I love that you can make this ahead of time, so all the prep is done when you arrive home and you just have to bake!
Do you have any other favourite casserole dishes? Why not try my Pecan Pumpkin Pie French Toast Casserole, this one is perfect for brunches! For another dinner idea, try this Chicken and Spinach casserole, so ideal for dinners as well.
I hope you enjoy this Tater Tot Casserole!
