Tater Tot Hotdish

Yummm, yummm! This is always a favorite around here!

Tater Tot Hotdish:

Ingredients:

1 bag frozen tater tots

1 pound hamburger meat

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 can cream of celery soup

1 bag (2 cups) shredded cheddar cheese

1 chopped onion (or dried onion flakes in the equivalent amount)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven and bake tater tots according to directions on package. When the tater tots are halfway done, brown the hamburger and onions until hamburger is done through (If I'm using dehydrated onions, I add a bit of water to plump them back up again. The water will cook off if you add too much...).

2. Once the tater tots are done, mix both "cream of" soups and the tater tots (save a handful out as toppers for the top of the casserole) into the hamburger / onion mixture. Make sure it all gets nice and mixed together...the tater tots shouldn't retain their shape anymore! I usually toss a handful or two of cheese in at this point.

3. Top with the rest of the bag of cheddar cheese (or use less, if you'd like...we like it cheesy, muahahahahaha). Randomly place remaining tater tots on the top of the casserole. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes or until cheese on top is as brown and bubbly as you like it!
