How to Make Our Favorite Tater Tot Casserole

  1. Cook 1 lb sausage (your favorite kind!) until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. In the same pan, stir in 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup (or your preferred soup, like recipe #278160).
  3. Pour the sausage and soup mixture into a greased 9x9 inch baking dish.
  4. Arrange 2 (32 ounce) bags of frozen tater tots evenly over the soup mixture.
  5. Cover the casserole loosely with foil.
  6. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese) over the tater tots.
  7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. For extra crispy tater tots, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
