There are many recipes for tater tot casserole. This is my version.

[@TessCooks4u]

Love those tots! Great casserole. I like how you left a little crust around the edge. YUM!

[@gregmccutchan.]

Thanks very much, Tess!

[@DWsSouthernCookingBBQ]

Looks really good and easy to make! Thanks for sharing Greg.

[@gregmccutchan.]

Thanks D.W.! Probably not as good as your tater tot casserole, but it eats pretty good. Thank you for stopping by, my friend!

This is the best video on tater tot casserole!!! The perfect base. The options are endless! I'm gonna do a taco casserole, just season the beef like you would do for taco night😁 you could use cream of celery / chicken. Anything, even cheese sauce🤔 But that base recipe, Poor Man's beef stroganoff on tater tots. Oh man am I getting hungry😋

[@gregmccutchan.]

You are right about that. The options are endless. You can add whatever ingredients you like and make it however you want. Thanks very much for watching!

[@teestjulian]

Mmmm, fresh lettuce as and tomato on top of that taco tater tot casserole, when it's finished cooking, would be lovely!

[@503rpf]

@@teestjulian Right! Now I'm hungry again. And I just ate some pork butt I smoked for 6hrs😤 But the taco casserole is to die for💀🤪💀 I will have to try your suggestion next time👍

[@valleygirl4161]

It’s cooking in my oven now. So easy and smells great. I snuck a bite while it’s cooking. Best tater tot casserole I’ve tried so far.

[@gregmccutchan.]

I'm glad you liked it . Thanks for watching!

[@lirpa1981]

I’ve recently been perfecting my tator tot casserole recipe. The way we have found we like it best is putting hash brown patties on the bottom. Season with a little sazon or season all. Next cook ground beef and onion. If I have left over mashed potatoes I add to the hamburger meat once it’s cooked. I then add a jar or half jar ( depends on how much hamburger I cooked ) of Ravi double cheddar cheese sauce a can of cream of bacon soup and a can of cheddar cheese soup to the hamburger and mashed potatoes. Then layer that mixture over the hash brown patties and top with tator tots I sprinkle with shredded cheese the last 5 minutes it’s in the oven cooking. It has been a huge hit in our house. I don’t like cream of mushroom so that’s why I started playing with ideas and ingredients and I like to think it has turned out a winner!

[@jacklyn_dica444]

I’ve been craving this for days. Thanks for the recipe looks amazing!

[@gregmccutchan.]

Thanks for watching! I hope you give the recipe a try!

I believe cooking doesn't have to be complicated. Thanks very much for watching.

[@Cam4Jess]

My sister made this a few weeks ago. I'd never heard of a tater tot casserole, and now I can't get enough.

[@gregmccutchan.]

I'm glad you like it. Thanks very much for watching!

[@PaiviProject]

Very nice breakfast dish. Hubby is my weekend breakfast maker and this kind of thing would fit the menu perfectly. Thanks ! :D

[@gregmccutchan.]

Thank you very much, Paivi! You and Ron should try this recipe sometime. I think you guys would like it!

[@abigailpaddock4285]

I have never made this before so I watched a ton of videos looking for a recipe I liked....well yours looked delicious so I am making it tonight!

[@gregmccutchan.]

I hope it turned out good for you. Thanks very much for watching!

[@sheentazbah1064]

I love this video. I was looking for simple for dinner and this is perfect will be cooking this tonight and I will be adding in green chili because New Mexicans love that green chili lol

[@cupcakezinger717]

Looks yummy! Definitely will try it your way this winter.

[@Glitterhead]

This is my favorite recipe so far. Great job.

[@laurelkane8026]

I have a set just like that same design and all wow!

[@valcomm5]

Yummy. That looks killer. I can't let my wife see this. She's been begging me to make tater tots casserole. Good to see you again

[@gregmccutchan.]

Thanks Russ! I won't tell your wife, but you need to get in the kitchen and make her a tater tot casserole! Lol!

[@janiceowens1630]

man every time I watch your video I got to go to the store and buy some stuff so I can try it I'm on my way to the store so I can try it I like the fact that you make cooking easy thank you

[@gregmccutchan.]

Thanks Janice! If it's not easy, I can't do it. I hope you enjoy the recipe!

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

That looks really good, very nice!

[@gregmccutchan.]

Michael's Home Cooking Thanks very much, Michael!

[@geezermann7865]

I like your version, and the separate steps. I hadn't thought of putting crispy fried onions on top, most call for cooking the onions with the beef. You could do both. I was just looking for recipes because I have a half bag of tots to use, and a roll of frozen ground turkey to cook up. Schnucks - St Louis?

[@lemoncrinckles]

Never had a tater tot casserole, but it sure looks good! I'd eat that anytime! Thanks, Greg. (:

[@gregmccutchan.]

Thanks Stef! You should give this recipe a try. I'm sure you would like it!

[@CindysHomeKitchen]

Great taters! Eat with ketchup, nothing better then crispy potatoes! Not that i can eat them, but hearing my sons eat them and just smelling them is a joy in itself! Just subscribed, keep up the recipes Greg, us cooks have to stick together my brother! :)

[@gregmccutchan.]

Cindys Kitchen Thanks very much, Cindy! I will check out your channel.

[@HeavyMetalBarBQue]

Hey Greg! That looked really Good! The Mrs. says we have to make this! Good to see You putting out a new Vid! \m/

[@gregmccutchan.]

Thanks very much! I hope you give the recipe a try. I've always wanted to cook one of these casseroles on the grill, just haven't got around to trying it yet. Rock on, my friend!

[@FalconMidget]

[@gregmccutchan.]

Thanks very much for watching!

[@georgeballard6452]

been a loooooong time since i had myself a tater tot casserole. that's looks awesome.

[@gregmccutchan.]

Thanks George!

[@babawawa1953]

That looks scrumptious. Just found you & your recipes. Saw the spaghetti and now this. Number of years ago I believe; wonder if you are still cooking and recording. I’ll find out. Thanks for this recipe.

[@bigronshobbies8209]

Looks awesome Greg, I love a one dish meal and I love tatter tots !

[@gregmccutchan.]

Thanks Ron! You should make this for you and Paivi sometime. I promise you it's good!

[@alwayspro3712]

looks good Greg, but I wish you had printed ingredients at end since i'll probably forget the way to cook it

[@TheWolfePit]

Man that looks some kinda GOOD!

[@gregmccutchan.]

Thank you very much, Sir!

[@sunnyblueskies6505]

In Minnesooooooduh we add mixed veggies to our Tater Tot Hotdish 😁

[@gregmccutchan.]

That sounds good. Thanks for watching!

[@supergeeky7529]

we also typically don't add the french's fried onions or cheese (tho some Minnesotans do, but it's more common in Wisconsin)

[@cindyperoceschi5360]

Thank you for this tutorial !!!!

[@gregmccutchan.]

Thank you very much for watching!

[@kristinespencer7301]

Ok. This is my next thing to try. I like your style of cooking...

[@gregmccutchan.]

Thanks! I hope you give it a try!

[@mookyyzed2216]

Damn! This looks awesome. I was a little skeptical when you put the taters in 1st, but when you precooked them, you had me curious. I think I'll use whole milk instead of sour cream, but when you topped it with the french fried onions, that's what sealed the deal for me. I never thought to use them on a tater tot casserole! Awesome idea. Can't wait to try this.

[@bluhousegrow1593]

Trying it tonight thanks for your help I was sampling it n gonna be great

[@gregmccutchan.]

I'm glad you liked the recipe. Thanks very much for watching!

[@Lizzy720]

I'd have to leave out the sour cream, which I hate - I'd substitute a half soup can of milk instead. But putting the tots on the bottom and then topping with the cheese and french-fried onions - that is BRILLIANT!!! Going to try that for sure!

[@gregmccutchan.]

Thanks very much for watching!

[@nancylanderson8012]

Please include the recipe in the notes. This looks delicious.

[@karenanderson8943]

love the onions on top.

[@gregmccutchan.]

Yeah, you can leave the onions out, but they really add a nice flavor. Thanks very much for watching!

[@styleomatic]

Thanks Greg! As soon as the daytime temp drops below 60 here, I'll be whipping this up.

[@gregmccutchan.]

Thanks very much! The daytime temp here is finally down in the 70s. I couldn't wait any longer. I needed a tater tot casserole! Lol!

Greg McCutchan I couldn't wait and made this tonight. Tastes great and everyone likes it. Thanks for posting!

You know I still haven't tried this yet, what the hell is wrong with me lol damn that looks good, those French fried onions were the over the top yuum, never seen them on it. But if I had to wait till winter, I'd be fucked, its the hottest its been all year here right now uhg

That look good but I would use shoe string potatoes not onion 😛

[@lindaobirapu8526]

❤❤❤❤

[@gingerhammond6446]

Just thinking...this might also be good using shredded hash browns...

[@gregmccutchan.]

I've never tried it, but I think hash browns would work just fine with this recipe. Thanks very much for watching!

[@joycegreer9391]

Sounds good to me. I would just substitute cream of celery as I hate mushrooms..lol.

[@gregmccutchan.]

I have a friend whose wife hates mushrooms. When he makes tater tot casserole, he uses cream of chicken soup. You could use cream of celery soup and it will taste great. Thanks for watching!

[@joycegreer9391]

Yes, my mom always used cream of celery. None of us liked mushrooms. I think there is also a cream of onion which would likely taste good, too.

Hi can u use sausage instead of hamburger

Might try using a higher quality cheese. Otherwise, looks great!!

[@michellesunshinestar]

Looks good. :) I could make that without the meat, I'm vegetarian.

[@gregmccutchan.]

You could omit the meat and leave it as is and I think it would be very good. You could also add beans, corn, whatever you like. Thanks very much for watching!

[@michellesunshinestar]

I like corn. I made vegetarian chili tonight.

[@margaretspurlock207]

I can't eat mushrooms can you use chicken soup instead

Well maybe your tator tots werent browned and crisp all the way before adding the meat mixture ... That Always helps 🤷🏽 also if you dont add enough meat an "sauce" taste will be off
