My husband made this quick and easy week night dinner for us when it seemed like we had nothing to eat. You know the nights, when you look in the fridge and there appears to be nothing. This is a variation of a midwest classic that we found yummy and comforting as our nights are getting longer and days are getting cooler. With few ingredients, you can make this Cheesy Tater Tot Casserole too!

That looks really close to how I make mine. It’s so darn good, isn’t it? It’s feel good food to me.
It looks so good. I made it one night and the kids did not like it. I could believe it! My hubby and I liked it.
This looks so good! My husband adores tater tot casserole, so I will have to make this one night for him.

We have tater tot casserole on occasion it is a quick meal and I love that!!!
This sounds really good. Wonder if my kids would eat it. Can you believe they aren’t big tater tot fans?!
YUM! Hubby would love this!
I love love this!! My Grandma used to make it for us all of the time.
This was the first time we had it. It was a great quick dinner!

Me either! I’m so missing out too! Looks delicious!
I’ve never made or even tried tater tot casserole before, but this sounds so good!
That looks great, perfect for this time of year
I love Tater Tot Casserole!!
Tater tot casserole is an all-time favorite in my household. 🙂
This is one of our favorite dinners! I make mine just like this, but use corn instead of peas since my husband isn’t a fan. I also call it White Trash Casserole!
I hate to say it, but I’m afraid to make a tater tot casserole in my house. It would get DEVOURED so fast we’d be waddling around we were expecting…lol
That would be so good with a tall cup of milk!
Ooh this sounds like something the whole family would love!
Now this is my idea of a weeknight meal! YUMMY.
This looks really delicious and super simple to make!
How absolutely yummy sounding and looking. Casseroles are such an easy to make dinner and great for leftovers.
We make this and call it cowboy casserole. It is so good and the boys absolutely love it!
I’ve never made anything like this, but I know my husband would love it.
Such a fabulous comfort food for fall! YUM!
From my 15 month old twins up to my husband loved it. He had seconds. I substituted peas for canned green beans and forgot the cheese on top
Still delicious!
Mmmm. I might have to hit the store on the way home to pick up supplies! 🙂
We’ve never had this, but I bet the kids would like it. I’ll have to make it soon.
My daughter loves this dish!
Looks delish and easy to make.
This looks and sounds yummy! I’ll have to try it some time.
Making Mine With Venison Burger Tonight && Frozen Corn Instead Of Peas. Can’t Wait! Thanks For Sharing! 🙂
Hi, I was looking into making this. Does it really need 4 cans of cream of mushroom soup? That seems like a lot!!
I love this dinner! Since i love to cook, this is a nice addition for my recipe collection.
