Although the Tater Tot Casserole isn't anything new, most recipes call for it to be an all in one type dish which includes some protein like ground beef or breakfast sausage. All good for sure, but we just wanted a starchy side dish to go with our Memorial Day grilled chicken dinner, so I decide to throw together a tot casserole on the fly with what I had on hand. Came out pretty dang good so I thought I'd share it with you all.
Course: Dinner
Cuisine: American
Makes: 6 to 8 servings
Takes: 20 minutes to prep and 60 minutes to bake (or smoke if you prefer)
Ingredients
1-28 ounce bag of frozen Tater Tots
4-5 ounces of cream cheese
4-5 ounces of sour cream
1 tablespoon of Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce
8 ounce package of grated cheddar jack cheese
5-6 ounces of grated sharp cheddar cheese
1-3 ounce can of French's Fried Onions
1 tablespoon of salt
Method
Let the cream cheese sit out on the counter to soften. Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, worcestershire, salt and cheddar jack cheese in a bowl. Incorporate the ingredients into a thick paste-like consistency. In a casserole dish, spray some non-stick oil and empty the bag of frozen tots into the bottom in a single layer. Take and daub teaspoons of the cheese mixture evenly over the top of the tots.
Next take the grated sharp cheddar cheese and sprinkle that evenly over the top, followed by the entire can of fried onions.
Pre-heat your oven (or place into a smoker) to 350* and insert the casserole. Bake uncovered for 50-60 minutes until all the cheeses are melted and bubbly. Allow to cool then serve.
Easy and relatively quick side dish to go along with barbecue or other main courses. Turns out really good, nothing better than cheesy tots. Try it with your next meal, great at home or for a tasty party dish.
