Cheesy Tater Tot Casserole
Cheesy Tater Tot Cowboy Casserole is one of my favorites. It is sooo good, and the perfect chilly-weather, belly-warming, stick-to-ribs dish. With ground beef, corn, cheese, and tater tots all coming together in this dish, side dishes become optional. I love to put a little ketchup on mine, because ketchup and tater tots? Yum!

August 30, 2015 at 6:28 pmI used this recipe to use up of leftover meatloaf. I didn’t have any regular tater tots, so I subbed sweet potato tater tots. It was fantastic. Will definitely make this again.
