Looking for an easy comfort food dinner that your whole family will love? This simple Tater Tot Casserole is the perfect go-to comfort food recipe!
For many households, Tater Tot Casserole is a familiar meal. You may have grown up enjoying this main dish with your family or eating while over at a friend’s house. However, there are plenty of us that have been missing out on this delicious meal over the years. This casserole did not grace my own table as a child, but luckily my children will never say that.
Tater Tot Casserole has become a much loved dinner in our home over the years. I am happy to tell you that even my husband, who grew up eating a version of this almost weekly and consequently tiring of it, was pleasantly surprised with this flavorful recipe. I have even seen him sneaking seconds when my back is turned!
This recipe uses a homemade cream sauce instead of canned soup and the entire dish contains only 10 simple ingredients. You will want to include the kids in the preparation of this meal too. They will love adding the final touch: a layer of tater tots!
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400F and grease a 9×13 pan. Set aside.
Step 2: In a large pan, brown ground beef. Add diced onions to browned ground beef and sauté for 5 min or until onions are translucent.
Step 3: In a bowl, whisk together milk and cornstarch.
Step 4: Add cornstarch and milk mixture to hot pan of ground beef and onions. Stir continuously for 3-4 min or until mixture is thickened.
Step 5: Remove pan from heat and stir in Worcestershire sauce, drained green beans, shredded cheese, and salt and pepper.
Step 6: Pour mixture into greased 9×13 pan. Top with frozen tater tots.
Step 7:Bake for 20-25 min or until casserole is bubbling and tater tots are golden brown. Allow to cool for 15 minutes and serve.

Can I use something else because I don't have Worcestershire sauce because I don't have the brand thats gluttenfree?
You can always just leave it out.
So glad I found this. Son's girlfriend is celiac and I'm always trying to find gf versions of our favorites to share with her!
Thank you so much for this recipe!! Great gluten free alternative to a childhood favorite!! Simple and yummy!
We LOVE this!! Anyone have a good guess on calories per serving?
What a great recipe, comfort food for us gluten free folks!
This is sooo good!! I love the gluten free status AND I love the substitute for canned cream soup! So easy and tastes just like Campbell's cream of whatever soup! I doubled and am freezing the second pan for later. Thank you!
Angela, we are so glad you loved this recipe too! Thanks for sharing your recipe experience with us and happy cooking! :) PS...Enjoy that 2nd pan soon! ;)
I also noticed the instructions on the bottom part don't go with this recipe. Good thing I noticed prior to printing. Looks like it'll be a good recipe though and I'd be happy to stop using my canned cream soup if this works out well. Thanks!
