very good. I also used reduced fat crm mushroom instead of celery; alot of flavor. Will add more onions next time.

This was a good! It lacked extra flavor. I added cheddar cheese on top of the soup and used celery instead of the mixed veggies. It was still delicious, but I would have liked a little more flavor.

Delicious! Added salt and pepper, and used cream of mushroom instead of the celery. We are in MN after all. Thanks!

Delicious! I added a tiny bit of cheddar cheese too. If you don't thaw the tots, it makes a great Freezer Recipe!

My whole family loved it! This is one of the more flavorful recipes of Tater-Topped hotdishes I've found!

My husband loves this! Makes plenty! I don't use the reduced-fat soups but that's OK. I also like to sprinkle some shredded cheddar on the top & let it melt the last few minutes it cooks. :)

So easy and very good. I agree some salt and pepper is definitely needed! I used cream of mushroom soup in place of the cream of celery soup.

This was casserole was delicious comfort food and so easy to make. I probably would just add some salt and pepper to the meat for a little extra seasoning.

I like to cook healthy and usually stay away from casseroles with creamy soups, but this was great for a change of pace and you can't beat the nutrition, using lower-fat soups! Great comfort food, reminded me of my childhood.

This recipe is ok; there really isn't much flavor to it. Would not recommend.

A crowd pleaser! Everyone loves it - I omit the french fried onions and use cream of celery and cheddar soup. I also add onions. Yummy!

Yes, I was logged in.  Here's the message I'm getting.  I had this problem before and wrote to customer service.  In a few days, they replied that they thought they had found the problem and I should be good to go now.... not!!!  I'll write to them again, but it's frustrating when I am a subscriber.  Shouldn't be this difficult!
