Tater Tot Casserole

 

May family really loves comfort food dinner recipes such as this that are a whiz to prepare.  They are great for me to get on the table quickly for busy nights but easy enough for a child that that cooks to whip up.  With three kids, we are always on the go and I look for super simple dinners like this to keep in my arsenal that are not only fast but budget-friendly.

This recipe also requires a few simple ingredients that I like to keep on hand to grab fast. When I can, I prep a bunch of ground beef stored in bags in the freezer. That way, it makes it even faster to prepare when even shorter on time.

TIPS FOR EVEN EASIER TATER TOT CASSEROLE

• I like to prep my ground beef ahead of time for saving even more time. I store pre-cooked ground beef  in freezer bags. I love the Amazon brand freezer bags. 
• When I am taking to church, a potluck, etc. and need to bake in a 9×13 baking pan, I like to get these disposable pans so I don't have to worry about getting my pan back. 
• I like to but bulk shredded cheese at a warehouse store so I am sure to have on hand. I divide it up in the freezer bags so I know what I have for each recipe. 
• We have this Emeril Air Fryer and I toast up the tater tots in it first when I want them a little crispier when I go to assemble the casserole.
