6-Ingredient Tater Tot Casserole Recipe: Don't Wait to Make This Budget Ground Beef Recipe - 30Seconds.com

A cookbook from my now-grown kids' elementary school has been sitting on my shelf since 2001. Why it took me so long to start making the recipes in the cookbook is a mystery. So far I've made creamy creole green bean casserole, refrigerator mashed potatoes and this delicious tater tot casserole recipe.

<Macro 'tip'>

This easy six-ingredient tater tot casserole recipe originally was a five-ingredient recipe. Yep, I made a few changes to the original recipe. Let's start with the simple budget-friendly shopping list: ground beef, onion, cream of mushroom soup, milk, cheese and a bag of frozen tater tots. Onion was not in the original recipe, but it's hard for me to brown ground beef and not throw in some chopped onion. I also used shredded cheese instead of slices as the original called for. Another change was I used evaporated milk instead of regular milk. I used 1 pound of ground beef, but my husband wants more meat next time, so I'll up it to 1 1/2 pounds. 

The ground beef and onion are browned in a skillet until the meat is cooked through. Pour the meat onto the bottom of a 13x9-inch  casserole dish. Top the meat with most of the cheese (save a little for the top), the soup and milk stirred together and then the frozen tater tots (line 'em up pretty!). Bake until hot and bubbly and crispy on top, the sprinkle with the remaining cheese and let it melt. Dinner is done.

Serve this easy ground beef tater tot casserole with a fresh garden salad or vegetable on the side.
