One kind of casserole that I can’t go wrong making at my house is Cowboy Casserole. Bring on the tater tots and don’t forget the cheese! My cowboy casserole recipe is something that all of my family just LOVES and usually there is no leftovers.
The recipe I had found originally called for Cream of Mushroom soup. I am the only one in my family who will eat mushrooms so I used Cream Of Broccoli instead which is just as good. Below is the recipe for this yummy Cowboy Casserole that my whole family LOVES…

I might have to try this recipe. I know that my family won’t go for the cream of broccoli soup, have you tried it with any other soup?

This sounds like a great hearty dinner that the whole family would like. We love tater tots!
Oh my goodness! I want to try this. This recipe sounds so hearty. I think it looks amazing!!! Oh Yum!
Made this for dinner tonight. It was pretty good however I found out a few things. One, the filling is delicious and I didn’t make any adjustments. Two, a single 32 oz bag of tater tots was not enough for a 9×13 pan so I didn’t have enough for top and bottom. I had a little bit of potatoes o’brien Left and used that to finish off the topping. The third thing I found out was that I liked the potatoes o’brien Better than the tater tots, but I’ve never been that big a fan of frozen tater tots ( they have that freezer taste to them ). Lastly I felt a top and bottom layer was too much potato and essentially drowned out the delicious center filling. Next time I will either just use potatoes o’brien For a top layer or I may even try a mashed potato topping and finalize it with the cheese. Overall a flavorful recipe and will definitely make again with alterations.
