NP. I grew up on Cream of Mushroom soup and I swear it tastes different (and worse) than it used to. Plus, tater toys are the only gross potato product I can think of. I love every manner of disgusting-by-DCUM-standards foods, but tater tot hot dish haunted my childhood and it sounds disgusting now.

I will pretty much eat any other hot dish though.

Tater tots are basically hash browns.

1lb ground round 90% lean
1 can Cream of Mushroom
1 12-16oz bag mixed frozen vegetables
6 slices American cheese
1 bag tatter tots

preheat oven to 425
In a 9x13 or 9x9 casserole or cake ban
Spread ground round evenly in pan
Add a pinch of salt and pepper
Add Cream of Mushroom
Add mixed frozen vegetables
spread evenly
add layer of cheese slices
add layer of tater tots

Place pan in preheated oven on center rack for 45 minutes

This sounds terrible.

+1 It's the unbrowned ground meat that really kills me...

Think of it like meatloaf. I bet you like meatloaf.

Meatloaf is usually seasoned. This is seasoned with just a "pinch" of salt and pepper. I like a good trashy casserole as much as the next guy, but that one sounds absolutely vile.

Those aren't good either, but tater tots have their own very weird,, very unpleasant aftertaste. Yuck. Luckily the world of one-dish meals is much bigger than tater tots.

So it really isn't the unbrowned that kills you it's just the seasoning? If so, go ahead and add some egg, onions, and bread crumbs, to the hamburger first.

If you don't like the seasoning on tater tots you could substitute in fresh sliced, diced, or grated potatoes and season to taste.
