A few weeks ago, I saw a slow cooker recipe for Tater Tot Casserole. It looked delicious so I added it to our meal plan.
James helped me make the cream of soup to add to the casserole.
While I browned the hamburger meat, James dumped the tater tots and cheese in the baking dish. I mixed the tater tots, cheese, hamburger meat & cream of soup together and tossed it in the oven. It was simple and delicious!
Kids in the Kitchen: Cheeseburger Casserole
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 bag 16 oz frozen tater tots
- 1 can cream of soup or you can use my recipe and make it from scratch
- 8 oz bag cheddar cheese I used Monterrey Jack and it was AMAZING!
- Seasoning to taste - salt pepper, onion powder and Mrs. Dash
Instructions
-
Brown the hamburger meat & drain.
-
(If you are going to make your cream of soup - now's the time!)
-
In a 9x13 baking dish, mix together hamburger, tater tots, cream of soup and cheese.
-
Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes.
-
ENJOY!
This recipe was a big hit with my whole family. I hope James will do more than the cream of soup next time!

This looks easy and good! I’ll have to add it to my meal plan! Thanks!
I have a breakfast version in the works! I hope to post it next week!
I love easy recipes and this sounds pretty good!
That looks easy and delicious! A win-win all the way around. I think I’ll try it and follow your recipe for your cream of soup as well. I’m really trying to minimize the processed foods that we consume.
I love this concept. Sounds like a tasty meal.
OMG this is one of my FAVORITES. Lord I can just about eat my WEIGHT in it though LOL
It makes 2 meals for us – but with 2 boys, I am sure that’ll change soon! 😉
That sounds delish! I’ll have to try your cream of soup recipe since the canned ones contain gluten (hubs has celiac so we can’t use those anymore).
Mine uses all-purpose flour, but you could try it with other kinds of flour!
Now this looks like an easy & satisfying meal
This recipe looks so kid-friendly and easy to make! Even I can make this!! 😀
My kids love to help me cook. Just tonight my oldest said he didn’t know what he liked more helping me cook or watching me cook. It is such a great joy to have them in there with me even if it is a greater mess to clean up.
I love this recipe idea. Thank you for sharing it with us.
We have had tater tot casserole but different than your recipe. It was tasty.
this looks so yummy and easy to make. If I make the cream soup myself, it will be gluten free too!
We make this sometimes. My kids love it!
Looks like an easy and fun recipe! I will try it out. Thank you for sharing!
Perfect dinner for today — thanks!
