Crock pot tater tot casserole

While on vacation this week I was cleaning out my cupboards and saw my crock pot sitting in the corner.  It kept taunting me as I used to use it constantly but over the years I just stopped using it all together.  So I decided to look for recipes for my crock pot and put it to work again.   I found this amazing recipe for Tater Tot casserole.  I remember my mom making tater tot casserole when I was a kid and I grew nostalgic and thought I would give it a try.  This will definitely go into my meal rotation.   I wanted to share it with you.

1 lbs ground beef ( I used 1.5lbs)
1 small onion
1 can original rotel  (if you want it spicy you can get medium rotel)
1 can cream of chicken
1 16oz bag of tater tots (I used a 32oz bag)
1 bag (2 cups) of cheddar cheese.

Brown the hamburger and drain.  Add the onion and the  can of rotel and mix well. Put into a greased crock pot.  Add the can of cream of chicken and mix. Put the bag of tater tots on top of the meat mixture.  Put on low and just wait.  I kept checking on my after 4 hours.  The tater tots looked cooked and I tasted one of course.  When you know they are done you put the cheese over the tater tots and cook  at 350 for 15-20 mins and enjoy.

******Added:  This is really good and I will make this from now on.  I love it and everyone that eats it loves it and asks for the recipe.*****

This brings back memories of a tater tot recipe from my past, probably the same one your mom made when you were growing up. Comfort food for sure! Sounds yummy!
