Tater tot and Hotdog casserole
When I was a kid, my mom bought me a recipe book for children. It had
a recipe for Hot Dog Casserole that included tater tots and velveeta cheese. Does anyone have this recipe or something similar? I searched the web over, and can't find this strange combo anywhere. Thanks, tsinbg |

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. Chris 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. Feeds 2-4 people cut in half. |

Sounds like one of those easy meals which most everyone would enjoy. Never heard of anything like it but I'm game. > Feeds 2-4 people cut in half. YIKES! Think I'll pass on that part ;-) -- Cheers!

Maybe you could try substituting hot dogs for the sausage. http://brunch.allrecipes.com/az/TtrTtCssrl.asp |

Didn't come out fatty, but yeah I think 30% fatty hamburger would be pretty greasy. The bottom of the casserole came out like an extra tender minute steak. Since this a "test recipe" deal no tweaking is allowed... the recipe has to be prepared as written. If I had not been doing the test thing I would have added some Cajun seasoning. Towards the end of the baking time the taters tots kinda came to the top (surprisingly) and they were somewhat crunchy and not soggy. BTW, has Spec's Liquors opened in Austin yet? Chris |

She browned the burger and drained it, then put it on the bottom of the casserole dish. Everything else was the same, except she sprinkled 1/2 pkg of onion soup mix over the mushroom soup and she put the tater tots on top so they would be crispy. Wow, that brings back memories. Deb |
