I tested the following recipe a couple of days ago for a non-profit cookbook
I'm working on. The results were surprisingly good. Not what I anticipated
at all given the ingredients. Not exactly what you're for, but it does
contain Tater Tots. Definitely comfort food or food that loves you.

Tater Tot Casserole

1 pkg. frozen tater tots

2 lbs. raw hamburger

1 bag frozen veggie of your choice (corn, peas, or green beans are best)

2 cans cream soup of your choice (Cream of Celery or Cream of Mushroom work
best in my opinion) a little bit of milk (about 1/4 cup)

Preheat oven to 375°.

On the bottom of a 13x9x2 casserole dish, press the raw hamburger in a flat
even layer. Then spread an even layer of the frozen tater tots, followed by
a layer of the frozen veggie. In a bowl or measuring cup, empty the two cans
of cream soup and mix with a small amount of milk to thin it. Pour the soup
mixture over the top of the casserole layers.

Bake at 375 for 60-75 minutes, until the top layer browns a little, the
hamburger is cooked through, and the tots are crisping when you check
underneath.

You can cut this recipe easily in half and use an 8x8 square baking dish.
