Cheesy Tater Tot Casserole

by Erin

No holiday table is complete without cheesy potatoes and it doesn’t get any better than this cheesy tater tot casserole topped with French fried onions, bacon, and more cheese.

With every major holiday comes a gathering involving food. But with Easter you have even more options as it can be in the form of a brunch or dinner. Personally I prefer the brunch, especially when my friend would host it while in Memphis and we’d have fried chicken and waffles. Complete with mimosas of course.

But no matter which meal of the day you choose to celebrate with, cheesy potatoes are always welcome. I have made this recipe before but changed it up a bit using tater tots instead of cubed hash browns, and bacon and French fried onions on top instead of corn flakes. Those small changes made a huge difference and this is now my go-to cheesy potato casserole. No leftovers to be seen!

I always sneak Greek yogurt in when I can instead of mayo/sour cream ;-)

HOLY delicious! I love it. I’m experimenting tonight with a cauliflower pizza casserole. I’ve always loved a good casserole, but the traditional ones don’t do it for me! Thanks for sharing! :)

I’m all for creating holidays during the off-season in the name of enjoying my favorite holiday dishes –and nobody can object if I say “every day should be a thanksgiving!” because that’d be a Debbie Downer kind of thing to do. So cheesy tater casseroles every day all day, I say!!
