Cheesy Tator Tot Casserole

This cheesy goodness is a family favorite. There really has never been an exact measured out recipe but the measurments below will get you started!

Prep Time8 mins

Cook Time45 mins

Course: Side Dish

Ingredients

• 1 cup Broccoli Cheese Soup
• 1/2-1 cup Velveeta Cheese
• 1/4 cup Butter
• 1/4-1/2 cup milk
• 1 pkg Tator Tots
• 1/2-1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• 1/2-1 cup French Fried Onions
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

• Preheat Oven to 375
• In a microwave safe bowl add butter and velveeta cheese. I typically do 1/2 a cup of Velveeta unless I am making a larger batch then I do a full cup. It also depends on how cheesy you want this. You really cant mess this up.
• Then microwave until melted. Do 30 seconds at a time and stir until melted
• Once the butter and Velveeta are melted add in the Broccoli Cheese Soup and stir it all together
• Then add just enough milk to make it a runnier consistency. Soupy if you will.
• Add you Tator Tots to a 13X9 baking dish. You can layer them they do not have to be flat.
• Then pour over the butter and cheese mix. Mix the tator tots up. If you seem to have a lot of butter and cheese just add more tator tots. Then add salt and pepper.
• Once it is all mixed, top with shredded cheese and French fried onions
• Bake at 375 for 45 minutes - 1 hr. You want it to be bubbly. If they onions are getting overcooked add tinfoil and continue to bake.
