Holy Tots, Batman!

Peyton loves my tater tot casserole.  He can eat an entire casserole by himself. It isn't the healthiest of meals, but it is his favorite, so I break down and make if for him at least once a month.

It is also an incredibly economical and easy-peasy recipe.  I thought I would share my version.

Tater tot casserole

Ingredients:

1 lb. hamburger
1 medium yellow onion
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup of milk (more or less depending on you like it)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
1 package of tater tots

Brown hamburger and onion, then drain and return to the pot/skillet.  Add soup, milk, and all spices.  Put as much milk as you want to achieve the consistency that you like.  Add as much of the spices to achieve the flavor that you like.  Place in baking dish, layer cheddar cheese and tots on top.  Bake in 350 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes.

I usually serve this with a green vegetable.

Better late than never!
