Tater Tot Casserole {recipe}

This post contains affiliate links.

It’s officially fall and that means all of the fall foods!! I am so ready for soups, casseroles, pasta and basically all the carbs. HA! I’ve been feeling fall for a while now and so I made one of my favorite comfort foods the other night, Tater Tot Casserole. It’s super easy to make and you will have leftovers for days. That’s my kind of meal!

While it may be super yummy and easy to make it doesn’t always photograph well, sometimes the best foods don’t. So don’t let these pics fool you, it really is delicious!!

A lot of people make Tater Tot Casserole and it can be a pretty basic meal but I prefer to “fancy” mine up and I add a secret ingredient. If you know me at all then you know I love ranch dressing on any and everything!! Now I don’t like actual ranch dressing on this casserole, that just sounds gross, but I do put a package of the dry ranch dressing mix in this casserole and it totally livens it up!

This recipe makes enough food to feed a family of six or more or if you are single like me you can eat on it for days! I usually freeze half of it in individual containers to eat later. Before I freeze it I usually sprinkle a little extra dry ranch on top to ensure it has some flavor when it’s reheated.

You can eat this dish alone and it’s completely satisfying but I usually eat it with some green beans or brussel sprouts just to get something green in my diet. HA! But really though…I feel bad if I don’t eat a veggie with my meals. I think I just adulted when I said that. What is happening to me??

What are some of your favorite fall comfort foods??
Have you ever had Tater Tot Casserole??

    As a kid this was one of my favorite potluck dishes. Sadly, they don’t sell tater tots here in Costa Rica and I’m not quite sure how I’d make them from scratch, but boy oh boy would I love to dig my fork in DEEP!

    I never made something like this before and to be honest, I never cooked with cream cheese either. I’m so going to try this!
