Homemade Tater Tot Hotdish Casserole with Beef and Cheese

Tater Tot Casserole Recipe

At home with the kids? Instantly access any of these printable activity bundles to keep them learning!


If you have fussy, young eaters in your home, a tater tot casserole can be the perfect thing to serve on any given night.

Tater tots can be described as potatoes that are grated and fried. They are cylindrical in shape. They are often served as a side dish, but in this tater tot casserole, they are taking center stage.

Variations on the tater tot can be found all over the world and may go by different names. The name tater tot is trademarked by the Ore Ida company but its often used as a generic term for this type of fried potato recipe.

Tater tots originated in 1953 when the founders of the Ore Ida company were trying to figure out what to do with leftover slivers of cut-up potatoes. They decided to chop them up and add flour and seasoning. The product was then shaped and fried and the tater tot was born.

When tater tots were first introduced in stores, they were so inexpensive that people were hesitant to buy them thinking they were low in quality. When Ore Ida raised the price, they began to sell more of the product and, eventually, they went on to become the popular food item they are today.

They can be found in various supermarkets, are often served for school lunches and there are even some restaurants who include them in their menus.

Tater Tot Casserole Recipe

As with any casserole dish, a tater tot casserole can be made in a variety of ways. For the most part, they are soup based and will include ground beef and various vegetables. The recipe we have published uses both cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup as well as ground beef and green beans.

The recipe requires preparing the meat and mixing it with the soup, vegetables, and seasonings. Then pour the mixture into a casserole dish and layer it with the tater tots for a meal your family is sure to love.

But when we think of tater tot casserole recipes, the sky is the limit. Here are some tater tot casserole recipes that you might enjoy making:

Sloppy Joe Tater Tot Casserole: Although you can prepare this recipe using sloppy joe from a can, home cooks will prefer to make theirs from scratch using ground beef, sauce, vegetables, and seasonings. Once the sloppy joe mixture is prepared, put it in a casserole dish as the base layer, add cooked tater tots and serve.

Slow Cooker Tater Tot Casserole: A slow cooker can be perfect for preparing your meat mixture as it will allow all the flavorings to come together. Add the meat, veggies, and sauces of your choice and simmer in your slow cooker. When it’s done, just add the tater tots and you’ve got yourself a great meal.

Cheesy Tater Tot Casserole: Cheese is an ingredient that can take your tater tot casserole to the next level. To make a cheesy tater tot casserole, just prepare the combination you prefer, sprinkle cheese over the top and bake.

Tater Tot Casserole with Beef

Most tater tot casserole recipes include ground beef. This is a great addition as it goes well with tater tots and serves to make the meal hearty. It is also rich in protein and iron. It may protect your heart and lift your mood.

However, not every tater tot recipe calls for beef. Some recipes use other types of meat and some don’t use meat at all. Here are some examples of tater tot recipes that feature these variations.

Cauliflower Tater Tot Casserole: A veggie lover’s dream, this dish features cauliflower, bread crumbs, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, chicken and a variety of seasonings. The cauliflower is made into a rice-like texture and chicken, cheese and tater tots are added to layered perfection.

Chicken Fajita Tater Tot Casserole: This recipe requires a tater tot base which includes egg, cream, milk peppers, cheese, onions, sour cream, and various seasonings. The chicken is then layered over the top.

Bacon Cheeseburger Tater Tot Casserole: What isn’t better with bacon? This take on the recipe involves mixing the beef, tater tots, cheese, bacon bits, cheese soup, and sour cream. Once the ingredients are mixed, simply put them in a casserole dish and serve.

A tater tot casserole is a delicious and hearty meal that is great for kids, and parents will love it too! The recipe we have here is pretty basic, but with so many variations available, you can play with the ingredients to create a dish that will please a wide range of taste buds and meet any dietary need. How will you be preparing your tater tot casserole tonight?
