Creamy Cheese Tater Tot Casserole

I wanted to try something a little different this week, so I whipped up this tater tot casserole. This is a meal that both adults and children can enjoy!
It's an inexpensive entree to toss together on a busy weeknight or weekend. 
There are many variations on this recipe, but I'd recommend adding sour cream instead of milk; this will give this dish a nice rich creamy taste. Adding two cans of creamed soup instead of one will really help to keep the meal moist. Until next time, that's what's on my table tonight!
 

Tater Tot Casserole:

  • 1/2 - 10 oz can cream of mushroom soup (Campbell's brand preferred)
  • 1/2-10 oz can cream of chicken soup (Campbell's brand preferred)
