Crock Pot Tater Tot Casserole
Make-ahead Crock Pot Tater Tot Casserole. Could there be anything better than making the number one casserole in America easy and hands-free??
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey or pork
- 1/2 onion
- 1 can condensed mushroom soup
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 pound frozen green beans
- 32 ounces tater tots
Instructions
- brown the ground beef in a dutch oven over medium heat-I like to use a ditch oven because it cuts down on spatter
- chop the onion and add to the beef in the last five minutes
- while that is cooking line the bottom of the crock pot with a layer of tater tots, roughly a pound of them
- once the beef is browned turn off the heat and remove from the burner
- drain the grease off the beef
- add the soup, milk and the green beens and stir to combine
- pour this over the tater tots
- cover with the remaining tater tots
- cook on high heat 5-6 hours or low for 8-10
- alternately you can layer this in a deep 9x13 and bake for 45-60 minutes at 350˚, uncover in the last 15 to crisp up the tots if desired
Notes
Cooking times are dependent on YOUR slow cooker so if your cooker is really hot well then maybe you only need 4-5 hours on high or maybe it needs longer? Make this on the weekend for the first time so you know how long your crock pot will take and you're not left disappointed and hungry when you can least afford it.
