This meal is quick, easy, and frugal… not so much on the healthy side, but pretty darn tasty. {That’s why I only have this picture… Hubby could not wait to dig in! Ha!}

We like to add in a little Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor, too. 🙂 (When I remember, that is…)
Oooohhh… I’ll have to try that next time! Thanks 🙂 (If I remember… I’m lucky to get it thrown together as it is!)
My grandmother used to make something just like this. I forgot all about it, so thanks for the reminder.
Lynn, my grandmother also made this… I remember her’s being better, but I’m sure that’s because everything she made was better! Ha!
Girl – you KNOW that tator tots rank in my favorite foods category. yes, had them with STEAK tonight that is how swanky I am…. 🙂

Hey, it doesn’t get much better than steak and tots, babe!
That looks really good! I love tatertot casserole, but the hubby doesn’t like it so much. I’ll have to take Amy’s suggestion and put some Worcestershire in it next time. Maybe that will change his mind.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.
This recipe is clever and just right for kids.
I have been looking through your blog and you have some interesting topics. I would like to drop by again and throw in my two cents or maybe,these days, it is worth less.

That looks really good, do you think I could substitute something for the cream of mushroom soup, I am not a big fan… maybe cream of potato?

I cannot remember the last time I had tater tots. This looks good. Maybe we will make this sometime soon.
Very simple but very popular, I’m sure! 🙂
Amy, thank you so much for commenting on my banana bread post! (Yes – it really is delicious with cheese!) This tater-tot casserole looks delish! I’ll have to try this one! Tater tots are good on their own…add cheese and look out! 🙂
Oh this looks SO yummy!
Mmmmm…that’s all I have to say about this. I love tater tots!
We love tater tot casserole, but we do it a little different. We use 1 lb ground beef, one can cream of mushroom and one can cream of celery. We put the tots on top and cook until extra crispy, then add some cheese until melted. Yummy!
