Tater Tot Casserole
- 2 pounds Ground Beef
- 2 Tablespoons Montreal Steak Seasoning
- 2 Tablespoons Minced Dried Onion
- 1 can 8.25 Oz Creamed Corn
- 1 can 8.25 Oz Corn, Drained
- 2 cans 15.25 Oz Each Cream Of Mushroom Soup (low-sodium)
- 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce, Low Sodium
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 8 ounces, weight Cheese Blend Like Colby Jack, Divided Use
- 1 bag Tater Tots (2 Pound Size Bag)
- Non-stick Spray
- Grease a 9x13 glass baking dish with non-stick spray and preheat oven to 375F.
- In a large skillet brown ground beef with Montreal steak seasoning (made by McCormick) and minced dried onion.
- Once the meat is browned, drain all extra grease from pan but keep the meat in the pan.
- Add 1 small can of creamed corn and one small can of corn nibblets (drained) to the ground beef and stir well.
- Add 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup (do not add milk or anything to this, just open the can and pour) to corn and beef mixture and stir well.
- Add a tablespoon each of soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce and mix well.
- At this point I always taste a tiny bit of the mixture and add additional soy or Worcestershire as needed to kick up the flavor.
- I suggest low sodium for some of the ingredients as it can end up tasting very salty otherwise.
- Adjust seasoning as needed if you dont happen to have low sodium on hand.
- The sauces and the steak seasoning mix are what makes this so different from old school tater tot dish.
- Once you have the flavor where you like it (we like it quite zippy, I always add more sauce) add half your bag of shredded cheese and stir.
- Pour this mixture into your baking dish in an even layer.
- On top of this place your tater tots (still frozen) in a single layer, in even rows.
- Sprinkle the top with the remainder of your cheese and bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
- Scoop into bowls and serve hot.
