Mindy, a regular at THE CoffeeShop, was so inspired by my original Tater Tot Casserole that she whipped up her own version....who doesn't love bacon? If you don't, get off my lawn..and blog.
Bacon & Blue Cheese Tater Tot Casserole
8-10 Slices Bacon
1 lb. ground beef
1 tsp. dried thyme
I cup chopped onion
1 tbsp. olive oil
2 tsp. minced garlic
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
½ lb. crumbled blue cheese
1 32 oz. bag frozen tater tots
Preheat
oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9x13 inch glass casserole dish. Cook
bacon until crisp. Drain and cool. Chop bacon. Brown ground beef and
thyme in bacon fat. Drain in a colander. Heat olive oil and cook onion
and garlic over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Mix together
beef, bacon, onion mixture and soup. Spread evenly in bottom of
casserole. Sprinkle crumbled blue cheese over meat mixture. Top with a
single layer of tater tots. Bake for one hour.
Nom, nom, nom. What twist can you put on it? I already have a mexican version up my sleeve.

Turkey Tater Tot Casserole
In honor of Thansgiving, my newest take on tatertot casserole:
You will need:
1lb ground turkey breast
a bag of tots
1 can of cream of celery soup
2 minced cloves of garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
1 bag of pre shredded "pepper cheese" (it is sold at Fred Meyer, and I have no idea what makes it different from pepperjack cheese, but it is delicious and not the same)
Preheat your oven to 350
While you are waiting for that little guy to heat up, turn on your overhead fan and then heat up your olive oil in a frying pan. When it is all nice and warm, cook up your garlic. Once it is about to burn, remember that you are trying to do something "domestic" and add in the ground turkey. Cook over med-hi until browned all the way through.
Now, you get to make your layered tot casserole. Pick from one of your many pyrex casserole dishes. Place a layer of tots, then a layer of cheese. Now put in all that delicious turkey, smother it in the cream of celery soup. Take a spoon and smear it around real good! More cheese! More tots! More cheese!
Bake in the oven for about 40 minutes. For the last two minutes, witch the over over to broil and get the top of the casserole nice and crsipy.
If you're from the midwest, crack a cheap beer and get out the ketchup, it's time to eat!
