By Popular Demand.....Tater Tot Casserole!

This is a fave in our family! It's so popular that Sidnee asked for it for her birthday dinner instead of El Campesino! Pretty impressive if you know how much she enjoys cheese dip from El Camps! Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

1 can cream of celery
1 can cream of mushroom
4 cups of extra sharp finely shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup milk
1/2 c sour cream
2lbs ground beef
1 bag tater tots
Garlic powder
Salt
Pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cook ground beef on stove. Drain. Set aside.
Combine cream of celery, cream of mushroom, milk, sour cream, and cheese in a bowl.
Mix well.
Add ground beef.
Add salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste.
Pour mixture into 9 x 13 pan.
Line tater tots up in rows on top of the mixture.
Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes.
Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.



**I like hot sauce on mine. Bryant adds sour cream on top of his. You can also use 2% cheese, 98% fat-free soup and lite sour cream and it turns out very good with less calories.**

~~Last tip-- Take the bag of tater tots out of the freezer the morning you're going to make the casserole and let them thaw in the frig. The tater tots will get crispier because they won't be as frozen when you put them in the oven. ~~
