I've gotten some good recipes that I make quite a bit from all of you! Thanks! I bought tator tots, but am not sure I am brave enough to try the casserole! LOL! I'd love any new ones you all have! It can be ground beef or chicken! Anything I will try!!

MMMMM! Tator tot casserole is a big favorite in my family. Another fav is tamale pie. I get requests for this when the entire family is coming over for dinner. Here goes:

Tamale Pie

1lb ground beef
1 cup chopped green onions
1 - 14oz jar spaghetti sauce
1 - 16oz can black beans
1 Tbs chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
3/4 cup water
1 - 8oz pkg corn muffin mix
1 - 8oz can corn
1 - 4oz can chopped green chili peppers
1/4 cup milk
1 whole large egg
4 oz grated cheddar cheese

Cook beef and 3/4 cup green onions in a skillet. Stir in spaghetti sauce, beans, chili powder, cumin, and water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer 10-12 minutes or until thickened. Transfer meat mixture to an oven safe casserole dish.

In a separate bowl, combine muffin mix, corn, chilies, milk, egg, cheese, and remaining green onion. Spoon mixture over beef to cover.

Bake at 350 degrees until top is dry and a toothpick comes out almost clean. Approx 1 hour.

Serve hot with sour cream and salsa on the side for those who want it.

Thanks Tunnia! This looks good! I will give it a try! I love a new recipe!!

How do you make your tator tot casserole? I've looked up a few recipes, but they all seem a little different! Thanks!

I make my Tator Tot Casserole like my mom always made hers.

1 bag tator tots
2lb hamburger
small onion, chopped
1 to 2 cans cream of soup, undiluted (I usually use mushroom, but have used chicken, celery, and broccoli too)
Velveeta cheese, sliced

Place hamburger and onion in a skillet and cook until hamburger is no longer pink and onions are tender. Remove from heat and add cream of soup until a creamy consitancy. Put meat mixture in an ungreased 9x13 pan. Top mixture with slices of Velveeta then top Velveeta with tator tots. Bake for amount of time it says to bake the tots on the tator tot bag. I usually serve this with a side salad for a veggie.

It's also very good if you use the Mexican Velveeta. Makes it spicier.

Sounds great Bea, especially the chicken enchilada casserole. I've been looking for one of those for a while. I love chicken enchiladas, but would like to just throw everything in the pan instead of having to fry, dip, and roll them all. Thanks!

Bea to the rescue! Thanks for posting!
