Hotdish Tater Tot Casserole

Hotdish Tater Tot Casserole.  It may be called a hot dish or it may be called a casserole.  I think that is highly dependent on what part of the country you live in.  This is one of those recipes that I have been eating since I was a child.  It’s relatively quick and easy to put together and can easily be enough to feed your whole family.

I am sure that there are numerous recipes out there for hotdish tater tot casserole, but this is how it was always made when I was a kid.  This is frequently made with cream of mushroom soup but I am not a huge mushroom fan.  Therefor, I substitute cream of chicken soup.  I don’t believe that most recipes use Velveeta in them but that has always been something that I put in this and Tuna Hotdish.  The way that cheese melts is second to none.

This is another recipe that I am excited to try at a campsite this coming summer.  I think cooking it in a dutch oven (like I did here), over a campfire will work pretty well.  I will have to find the right temperature zone on a fire as to not overcook it or burn it to the bottom of the pan.
