I could almost say that my middle daughter {Aryka, age 8} inspired this recipe version from the previous ones we tried. Some were too dry. So she said, “Mommy, add milk.” Some were not gooey enough. So she decided we needed an entire bag of cheese which she gladly dumps on top of the tots for me every time we make this one together. Some were too plain. So mommy added onions to spice it up just a bit. All of these small changes makes for one rich and creamy casserole that is start to finish in less than 1 hour.

I’ve Heard Good Things About This Recipe! My Daughter Is Such A Picky Eater But She Loves Cheese! I’m So Going To Try This!!!
I have made something like this; we made it with crumbled up sausage and eggs, a breakfast casserole. Its better if you scramble the eggs, not cook them all the way, just mostly and of course cook the sausage. We put the eggs in the bottom of the pan, the sausage next, then the tator tots and then the cheese, lots of cheese. I agree with you it needed something, we added onions and red and green peppers. I have not used any soup in the breakfast version, it might be good.

My Family would love this dish.THey are a meat and potato people and they love cheese on almost everything.This dish would be great when you dont want cook over a hot stove and easy to prepare.
here’s a meaningful comment for you. I despise posts like this cause they don’t appear truthful. I’m not saying you weren’t truthful, i just hope you really took the time to make that dish for this recipe. And to even include your kids in the post is taking it the next level.
This is One of the reasons why it’s hard to find trust worthy content in the net.
Sorry. That’s just how I felt.
