Tater Tot Casserole

Today was a boring, rainy day...

We were supposed to be able to finally use our pool (our first time ever having our own pool), but, of course, rain began to pour down. So we're trapped inside with nothing to do...

So, though it may be sunny where some of you are, I wanted to post a recipe for one of my favorite comfort foods that is great for a rainy day.

The thing that I like about tater tot casserole is the fact that nearly everyone likes it- it's not an opinion, it's a fact. And it's also a creative idea.

Ingredients:

   • 1 1/2 - 2 lbs. ground beef or ground turkey
   • 1/2 - onion, diced
   • 1 - 32 oz package ore ida crispy crowns or tater tots 
   • 1 - 10 oz can cream of mushroom soup
   • 1 - 8 oz container sour cream or light sour cream
   • 1 - low fat cup milk
   • 2 - cups grated cheddar cheese
   • pepper, to taste
   • season salt, to taste

   • garlic salt, to taste
Instructions:

   1. Brown ground beef and diced onions, adding, pepper, seasoning salt and garlic salt to taste. Drain.

2. Pour ground beef & onion mixture into the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole dish. In a separate bowl mix together the soup, sour cream and milk.
3. Pour the soup mixture over on top of the ground beef layer spread evenly to cover the meat mixture. Top with tater tots, sprinkle with grated cheese over the entire casserole.
4. Bake at 350 degrees uncovered for 30 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly and cheese is completely melted.

Yes, this recipe has NO AVOCADO in it... But remember that I said that not every recipe will have the FOTW in it. ^_^
