Tater Tot Casserole

This quick Tater Tot Casserole is Peggy’s recipe. I have a tater tot casserole that uses canned corn or peas instead of the frozen mixed vegetables. You can customize this recipe, in other words, include whichever vegetables you prefer. As a result of cooking the tater tots while you brown the ground beef, you can multitask and get this delicious casserole on the table in 30 minutes. After that, you’ll have more time to enjoy with your family. Finally, try these other 30 Minute Meals.
