Cheeseburger Tater Tot Casserole


Hey guys!
Happy Thursday almost Friday!

I was MIA yesterday, and today I'm sharing a recipe with y'all. Everyone knows that a recipe is just filler when you have nothing else to write about. Right? 
Oh, maybe that's just me.

Either way, you will be glad I shared this one, it is delicious and super easy. 


What you need:

1 Can {8oz) Crescent Rolls
2 Pounds Ground Beef {use 80/20 for the best flavor}
1/4 Cup Yellow Onion, Minced
1/2 Cup Ketchup
1 Tablespoon Yellow Mustard
1 1/2 Cups Shredded Cheese {I use Cheddar}
2 Pounds Frozen Tater Tots

What to do:

1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 9x13 dish with cooking spray and spread the crescent rolls to completely cover the bottom, squishing them together so that the holes are seamed together.


2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef along with the minced onion until the meat is cooked. {If you are like me and don't like onions, just chop them up small enough and you won't be able to feel them. Or, you can just leave them out but they really do add great flavor!} 

3. Once the meat is cooked, add the ketchup, mustard, and 3/4 of the cheese. Stir until well mixed and then pour evenly over the crescent rolls. 


4. Add the frozen tater tots on top and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the top and bake 8 to 10 more minutes to melt the cheese. 


Garrett and I really love this. The sweetness of the crescents paired with the salty sweetness of the meat is delicious! This recipe makes a 9x13 pans worth so you will probably have leftovers. It is still just as good reheated.

I hope you are all having a great Thursday night!

  5. This looks amazing and almost makes me wish I ate meat. As I was looking at the pictures (drooling) I was like, what can I replace the beef with? Spinach? No. Black beans? Hm, no. I'm working on it. I'll think of something.
