Tater Tot Hotdish Still Simple But Better Food

HOTDISH (TATER TOT CASSEROLE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Add the oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft and beginning to brown, about 15 minutes. Add the beef to the onions and cook until the meat is brown, stirring and scraping the bottom of the skillet to release the yummy brown bits, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the beef and onion mixture from the skillet into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Scatter the green beans and corn evenly on top. Spread the cream of mushroom soup over top and top with frozen potato tots. Bake uncovered for 1 hour; the potato tots should be golden brown. Serve.

MOMS BEST EVER TATERTOT HOTDISH

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375
• 2. You have the option to brown the meat or not... Honestly I think that it is about a horse a piece as far as time goes... so I usually just brown it with a little diced onion and season salt. ** Once browned (or not) place in bottom of 9x13 pan and spread out.
• 3. Add layer of mixed veggies straight from the freezer and smooth out over beef.
• 4. add cream of chicken (or mushroom if you prefer) over veggies. Do not dilute! **My trick is to put small dollops all over surface and then spread those out slowly so you don't end up just "mixing" the soup and veggies together. This dish is all about the layers!
• 5. My mom adds a splash of milk here over the soup... I don't. I guess its up to you if you want yours thinner... I think that its hard to measure the right amount and not to mention I like mine thick - and that way it will not fall apart as much. Up to you.
• 6. Now the cheese! place a full layer of sliced cheese over the whole thing! No cheating and leaving gaps! ** I would NOT recommend substituting American with Cheddar - it gets pretty greasy. Do not substitute sliced with shredded as it does not melt evenly (and its a terrible base for the tots) TRUST ME :)
• 7. TOTS. Who doesn't just love tots?! I do not just throw a bunch on top and throw it in the oven.. I line them up next to each other and fill the whole pan. The only downside to doing it this way (if there is one) is that you do use a lot of tots. It seems like I always need a handful more than whats in an averaged sized (Orida) bag so I always keep extra on hand.
• 8. Cook uncovered **Raw beef- 1 hour and check **Browned beef - 45 minutes and check You want to see the tots golden brown and the cheese bubbling.
• 9. Let this beast cool down! This stuff gets molten hot and as much as you may want to face-dive into this as soon as you pull it out... leave the room for a few minutes. :D **You really do not need much of a side with this... There are so many veggies in it. If anything maybe a salad. That' about it.
• 10. Last step - LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!!

TATER TOT HOTDISH, STILL SIMPLE, BUT BETTER!

Steps:

• I tried to make this recipe as easy as possible. So there is no layering, or pre cooking of tots. Simply brown hamburger. Season hamburger with your favorite spices. I like to use a little minced onion, garlic powder, and some salt and pepper. Once browned, combine burger, and all other ingredients, mix well. Place burger mixture in a greesed 9 x 13 pan. layer the top with raw frozen tator tots, cover with tin foil. Bake 375 degrees for 50-70 minute Last 15 min, break apart cheese in small peices, and distribute around hot dish, continue baking last 15 minutes until all cheese is melted.
