My husband thought this was ok but I did not care for it at all. I found it to be tasteless and the potatoes were mushy. It needed more time in the oven to heat through. I would not make this again.

very bland if using cream of chicken soup. I would suggest following tater tot casserole and use soy sauce.

How on earth did this recipe come up with 1,675 mg of sodium and 38 g of fat for just one serving? most of this must come from the Tater Tots because there is not very much other ingredients that could do that.

This is the second time I make this dish. I substituted both cream of chicken soup and cheddar cheese with nacho cheese condensed soup. Both variations are tasty.

This is the kind of recipe I like the most - quick, easy, and yummy.

I'm making this tonight and it just sounds scrumptious! I will add some chopped onion and omit the onion powder for added texture and I'm also using shredded hasbrowns instead of tater tots. Looking forward to this!

Made this recipe with a few "tweaks" for dinner this evening. I omitted the sour cream (just didn't have any,) used 1 lb beef, full can of Cream of Mushroom, no milk, added chopped onions and bell peppers to the grown beef when it was browning, omitted the onion power and pepper. My family loved it! My Granddaughter asked if I would make it as part of our Christmas dinner.

Yummy. I doubled the recipe and it fit fine in a 9x13" pan. Doubling it allowed me to use one lb. ground meat (I used turkey), one can of soup, one bag tater tots and one 16 oz. bag frozen corn... much easier than having leftover ingredients cluttering up my fridge/freezer. I added some leftover black beans and cut down on the sodium by using frozen corn and "healthy" soup and it still tasted fine. I think the addition of some diced tomatoes would be good. Overall we liked it very much and will definitely make it again!

This is comfort food at it's best. Calorie counting , healthy eating , and watching all the non healthy things is a day to day given, BUT now and then you just HAVE to indulge. Life is short, enjoying and indulging now and then is healthy, watching the fat and the calories will keep til tomorrow, just like the cobwebs.

I have made this recipe several times - it replaced my old Tater tot hotdish! I do use half cream of chicken soup, and half cream of mushroom soup + add onion and garlic to the ground beef when browning. Delish! Also, to comment on JBTOHIO's rate - Taste Of Home.com DOES have a section called 'Healthy Eating'. Why dont you stick to that area, and keep your negative comments to yourself. thanks! :)
