Add them to the top for that yummy potato flavor and texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shredded Cheddar Cheese &mdash; <\/strong>Sharp cheddar is my go-to for this casserole, but if you like mild cheddar or a cheese blend, go for it!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Equipment You&rsquo;ll Need for Crock Pot Tater Tot Casserole<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To make this easy casserole, grab the following kitchen tools:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>slow cooker<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>large skillet (for browning the ground beef)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>measuring cups<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>measuring spoons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cutting board and knife<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cheese grater (optional, if shredding block cheese)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make&nbsp;Slow Cooker Tater Tot Casserole<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-5-background-color has-background\">This section shows you how to make the recipe with step-by-step photos and instructions.

This helps them stay together better in the casserole, and they&rsquo;ll have a touch of crispness to them. It&rsquo;s totally optional, though.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lighten up this recipe by using reduced fat condensed soup, milk, sour cream, and cheese.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Want even more tater tots? Try adding a bottom layer AND the top layer. You really can&rsquo;t go wrong with more tots.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cooking time may be a little less if your slow cooker runs hot. The ground beef gets cooked before it&rsquo;s added to the crockpot, so whenever your tater tots are cooked, it&rsquo;s safe to enjoy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tater-tot-casserole-in-slow-cooker.jpg\" alt=\"Spoon scooping out serving of slow cooker tater tot casserole.\" class=\"wp-image-69175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tater-tot-casserole-in-slow-cooker.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tater-tot-casserole-in-slow-cooker-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tater-tot-casserole-in-slow-cooker-333x500.jpg 333w, https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tater-tot-casserole-in-slow-cooker-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tater-tot-casserole-in-slow-cooker-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tater-tot-casserole-in-slow-cooker-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tater-tot-casserole-in-slow-cooker.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additions and Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Try a different meat.<\/strong> All out of ground beef? No problem. Swap it out with ground turkey instead. You could also sub a pound of ground chicken or shredded chicken for the ground beef to make a yummy chicken tater tot casserole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Swap out the veggies.<\/strong> Instead of corn, try carrots, peas, green beans, or broccoli. Bell peppers would be tasty in a southwestern version of this dish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use a different &ldquo;cream of&rdquo; soup.<\/strong> Although we use cream of mushroom, cream of chicken soup or cheddar cheese soup works just as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Add toppings.<\/strong> Sprinkle some fresh green onions or crumbled bacon over the top right before serving for a delicious finish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Spice it up. <\/strong>If your family enjoys a little heat, add a dash of cayenne pepper or some diced jalape&ntilde;os to the beef mixture. Taco seasoning could work, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Make it cheesier.<\/strong> Add extra cheese or swap out the type of cheese you use for this casserole to get different flavors. Pepper jack cheese would be a fun kick of spice. A Mexican blend or triple cheddar blend would also be delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Go vegetarian. <\/strong>Use a meat substitute crumble and\/or black beans in place of the meat. Make sure you use vegan-friendly Worcestershire sauce and cream of mushroom soup as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Make a breakfast tater tot casserole. <\/strong>Swap out the ground beef for ground breakfast sausage.

They&rsquo;ll be on the softer side, though still delicious.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1695611214985\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use canned or fresh corn instead of frozen corn?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, both of those options work. For canned corn, make sure it&rsquo;s drained well. If you&rsquo;re using fresh corn, weigh out 12 ounces on a food scale or measure out a little over 2 cups. Two medium ears of corn will yield about 2 cups or 10 ounces of corn kernels, per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruceeats.com\/how-to-cut-corn-from-cobs-3034276\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Spruce<\/a>.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1695445828414\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What goes with tater tot casserole?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A fresh green salad, steamed veggies like green beans or carrots, or a side of bread pair wonderfully with tater tot casserole.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1695445852185\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is tater tot hotdish?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Tater tot hotdish is basically a Midwestern name for the casserole. A hotdish is an easy recipe that typically has a starch (like tater tots, rice, or pasta), frozen or canned veggies, meat, and canned soup as the primary ingredients. Cheese is always welcome, too.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1695611534825\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use a different kind of canned soup?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You sure can. Cream of chicken works well for this recipe.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1695652634468\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do I need to add water to the canned soup?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No, you shouldn&rsquo;t add water to the condensed soup. Instead, this recipe calls for adding a bit of milk to thin it out a little, and sour cream is also added. That&rsquo;s plenty of liquid for the recipe.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Slow-Cooker-Tater-tot-hot-dish-Recipe.jpg\" alt=\"Plated portion of crock pot tater tot hot dish with veggies and buttered bread.\" class=\"wp-image-69174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Slow-Cooker-Tater-tot-hot-dish-Recipe.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Slow-Cooker-Tater-tot-hot-dish-Recipe-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Slow-Cooker-Tater-tot-hot-dish-Recipe-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Slow-Cooker-Tater-tot-hot-dish-Recipe-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Slow-Cooker-Tater-tot-hot-dish-Recipe-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/crayonsandcravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Slow-Cooker-Tater-tot-hot-dish-Recipe.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crockpot Recipes for Busy Nights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Use your slow cooker to get a homecooked meal on the table even when you&rsquo;re super busy.
