Inexpensive and hearty ground beef meals are a must at our house. I like to stretch ground beef as much as possible. We enjoy Homemade American Goulash and Easy Salisbury Steaks quite often.

Since my kiddos love our Shepard’s Pie, I knew they would love this Tater Tot Casserole I spotted over on Food.com. I made a few modifications to make it more “our family” friendly. I loaded our casserole with ground beef, onions, cream of mushroom, spices, and lots of cheese.
This casserole turned out fabulous and there was not much cleanup because my family ate the whole pan, ha ha. They let me know it reminded them of our Shepard’s Pie, that it got two thumbs up, and it can be on our dinner list frequently.
Finding meals that stretch and also please this group is difficult so I was very happy that they liked this one. They didn’t even complain about the onions, lol.
If you are looking to make this Tater Tot Casserole, you will want to grab some tater tots, ground beef, cream of mushroom soup, cheese, onion, and a few other spices you probably have on hand.
