Tater Tot Casserole + VIDEO

Tater tot casserole is a delicious ground beef dinner full of veggies and cheesy tots. This recipe makes the best kid-friendly, comfort food!

Making meals with ground beef usually means they’re economical, and it always means they’re delicious.

This hamburger casserole is no exception. Kids love tater tots, and if you ask me, adults love them too.

The best part is, casseroles are simple to make and they’re a great way to use leftovers!
Plus, if you like easy meal prep, you can make tater tot casserole ahead of time. Then, freeze it and bake it whenever you’re craving easy comfort food.

Ingredients in tater tot casserole

Ground beef - You’ll be draining the grease, so you can use whatever type of ground beef you have on hand. This being said, you can use lean ground sirloin and save yourself the mess of draining the grease off.
Yellow onion, diced - If all you have on hand are white or red onion, they’ll work just fine. Even shallots will work in a pinch! If you want to use frozen diced onions, it is probably best to thaw them first. Otherwise, there will be some excess water in the casserole.
Garlic powder - If you don’t have any on hand, minced fresh garlic works as well. If you omit the salt, you can even use garlic salt.
Salt - Kosher or sea salt offer the best taste, but iodized salt will be fine.
Worcestershire sauce - This gives the hamburger casserole some additional meaty flavor. You can omit it if you don’t have any. I even use steak sauce in a pinch!
Canned green beans, drained - Frozen green beans are fine. If you steam them in the microwave for 2 minutes first, you can even use fresh.
Canned niblet corn, drained - The same rules apply for the corn. I just always have a can or two in my pantry.
Cream of mushroom soup - You need to use condensed soup, not the ready to eat variety. If you don’t like using condensed soup, you can make it yourself! I have a recipe for condensed cream of chicken soup that will work perfectly, or this condensed cream of mushroom soup recipe from Kevin is Cooking looks great.
Shredded cheddar cheese - You can substitute the cheddar with any shredded cheese your family enjoys, or don't use any at all...

EQUIPMENT YOU’LL NEED:

9 x 13-inch casserole dish - Some casserole dishes have the capacity stamped on the bottom of the dish. You want to use something that holds at least 2 quarts.
10-inch large skillet - I have had this pan since 2006. It is my go-to large skillet. It heats evenly and quickly. The stainless steel cleans up beautifully with a little baking soda so they still look brand new.

RECIPE TIPS

Keep the tater tots in the freezer until right before you add them to the casserole. As a result, they’ll stay nice and crispy in the oven. Nobody enjoys mushy tater tot casserole, right?
To make serving the hamburger casserole easier, be sure to lightly grease the casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
The reason that this meal is sometimes known as tater tot hotdish is because it tastes best when it is served immediately. After it sits for a while, it can get a little mushy.
Refrigerate any leftovers and use them within 5 days.

HOW TO FREEZE TATER TOT CASSEROLE

The recipe is easy to make ahead and freeze for baking later.

Assemble the casserole according to the directions in the recipe card.

Then, wrap the casserole with a double layer of plastic wrap and a layer of aluminum foil over the plastic. It will keep well in the freezer for 3 to 4 months.

When you’re ready to serve it, you can remove the plastic wrap and recover with the foil and pop it right into a preheated oven aluminum foil still covering it. You’ll need to add 20 to 25 extra minutes of cooking time.

After the first 45 minutes, you should remove the foil. This will help the tater tots to become crispy and the cheese to turn bubbly and golden brown.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

The casserole includes meat, healthy veggies, a starch (potatoes), and dairy (cheese). As a result, you really don’t need to serve anything with it.

If you really want to add a side dish, a garden salad is a good choice, or maybe some raw veggies with ranch dressing for dipping.

Tuna Noodle Casserole + VIDEO

If you're looking for the most delicious Tuna Noodle Casserole recipe, you've found it. Now that more people are eating from their pantry, you might be wondering what the best way to use canned tuna is. You've guessed it, it's this delicious pantry casserole recipe.

Tuna Noodle Casserole

Tuna noodle casserole has been a classic American casserole recipe since the 1950s. I remember seeing a recipe for this family favorite in my Betty Crocker cookbook years ago. And, while my recipe is different from that classic, it has quickly become a family favorite.

What kind of soup do I use?

This classic tuna noodle casserole uses canned tuna and canned cream soup. Here, I use two cans of cream of mushroom soup. But, you can use cream of celery or whatever other types of cream soup you have on hand. Or, if you're out of cream soup, you can make homemade cream of chicken soup or a basic white sauce and use that as the basis for this casserole.

How do you make tuna casserole from scratch?

A completely from scratch tuna noodle casserole would use a white sauce instead of the canned soup. And, it might use buttered bread crumbs as a topping instead of the Ritz crackers. The great thing about this casserole recipe is that you can modify it to use up what you have in your pantry.

What can I substitute for peas in tuna noodle casserole?

This recipe uses frozen peas. But, you can use another type of frozen or even canned vegetable if you prefer. Good substitutions are frozen broccoli or cauliflower, canned mushrooms, carrots, or a mixture of carrots and peas.

Do you cook the noodles before adding them to the casserole?

Yes, most recipes, including this one, require that you cook the noodles before you add them to the casserole. But, when making this tuna noodle casserole, it's important that you only cook them until they are al dente. They will continue to cook while you bake the casserole. So, if you cook them too much before adding them, they will be too soft when the casserole is done baking.

What if I'm out of crackers?

If you don't have Ritz crackers on hand right now, you can easily substitute something else. I've used buttered breadcrumbs. And, you can also use crushed potato chips, Chow Mein noodles, or even crushed pretzels or cornflakes. Take a look at what's in your pantry right now and use up what you have. Anything that is crunchy would make a good topping.

What should I serve with this?

This tuna noodle casserole recipe is a full meal as it is because it contains a protein, starch, and a vegetable. But, if you want to serve a side dish, you can serve a steamed vegetable. My Green Beans with Garlic make a great side dish for almost any meal. Or, my Honey Glazed Baby Carrots would work as well. If you have it, a side garden salad would also work well with this casserole.

Can you freeze tuna casserole?

If you want to make up a large batch on the weekend and then freeze it, you can certainly do that. Just bake the casserole as directed and allow it to cool. Then, you can freeze it, tightly covered, for five to six months. The key is to be sure that it is tightly covered.

When you want to serve it, allow it to thaw in the refrigerator and bake it as directed. Or, you can bake it frozen and increase the cooking time by 30 minutes. Be sure you check it every 15 minutes to be sure it doesn't overcook.

How long can you keep tuna noodle casserole?

If you have leftovers, you can store them tightly covered in the refrigerator. They should be eaten within three days.

To reheat this, just put it back in the oven and heat until the center is hot. How long it takes to reheat it will depend on how much casserole is left in the pan.

Or, you can reheat it in the microwave if you prefer.

It should take about two minutes but, again, it depends on how much is on your plate and how powerful your microwave is.

Tuna Noodle Casserole

prep time: 15 Mcook time: 25 Mtotal time: 40 M

Ingredients

(12-ounce) package extra broad egg noodles
2 cups frozen peas (or your favorite vegetables)
2 (10.75 ounce) cans Campbell's Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup (or 1 can mushroom, one can celery)
1 cup milk
2 cup sharp shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 (10 ounce) cans tuna, drained
1 cup crushed Ritz crackers
2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Cook noodles according to package directions (only cook noodles to al dente, they still have a bite to them) as they will cook in the oven if using frozen peas add them during the last 2 minutes.
Meanwhile: In a large bowl combine soup, milk, 1 cup of the cheddar cheese, onion, garlic, and pepper. Mix well. Add warm pasta, peas, and tuna, stir until combined.
Spread into a 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
Mix the cracker crumbs with butter in a bowl and sprinkle over the casserole.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the casserole is heated through.

DONNA'S NOTES

If using canned peas, drain them and add to the bowl at the same time as the pasta.
Be sure to only cook the noodles to al dente as they will continue cooking in the oven.
You can use any pasta you like. Noodles are classic but this recipe is great with elbows, shells, cavatappi, and penne too. I imagine every pasta would work in this recipe.
