If you are a meat & taters dude, here is one of my favorite dishes.

Chuck, this may be great for your recipe book for the hunters you feed.

- Brown ground venison (or beef) and season as you see fit.
- Spread this in the bottom of a baking dish
- Layer frozen tater tots on top
- Mix a can of cream of mushroom and a can of cream of chicken soup together and water down some
- Pour soup mixture over tots and meat
- Bake at 350 until tots are almost done
- Sprinkle grated cheese on top and bake until cheese is melted


Enjoy

Easy to make and really great. I tried the onion flavored tots once, and it didn't seem the same. I have also used my venison pan sausage by mistake once, and that's the way I make it everytime now.

how much meat? how big a casserole dish? i want to try this

Venison, cheese, tater tots, and cream of mushroom. Hell yeah thats a man's meal. I think I'll try this one tonight.

It is good, buddy told me about it a few months ago, now i eat it once a week.

Fastliberator since you make it can you tell me how much of each ingredient to throw into this? I am gonna try to make it tonight. Thanks

im making it right now for supper see how it turns out

I just made this and it went over well. Here is what I did and how it turned out.

Roughly 2 lbs ground deer
3/4 of a 2 lb bag of tater tots
one can of each soup listed
I used between 1 1/2 and 2 cans of water to thin but now I would say to use between 1/2 and 1 can of water.
I seasoned the meat with fresh ground pepper and tony c's as I browned it and I put a small amount of tony c's on the tots before I put the soup over it all and it went in the oven. All this was put into a 9x13" casserole dish and cooked at 350 for 35-40 minutes then I put the cheese on and cooked til that looked good to me. I had no complaints at our supper table so good luck to you guys that try this. Al

Instead of ground beef,the wife sometimes uses ground turkey.

well got done with supper i think the kids ate there weight in it went over great

my wife found a recipe in a cookbook last weekend and we tried it. Very good stuff. My 8 & 11 year old boys loved it and wanted more.

This is some good stuff. We use 1 lb of ground meat and enough tater tots to cover the casserols dish. Good stuff. I like it with the onion tater tots as well. Sometimes add some sliced onion to it.

And I have found that the kiddo's just can't get enough of it. Pretty good for breakfast as well.

i'm gonna have to try it

I made it with 1lb of ground beef and one pound of deer breakfast sausage. Turned out awesome.

Made this last night for the big game. It was a hit. Everyone went back for 2nd.

I bought the stuff yesterday for it and probably making it tomorrow. I'll let y'all know how it turns out.

I made it and threw in little bit of pan sausage with it. Delicious! Must try this recipe. Awesome!

I may try it tonight!

yes tater tots are for men... and seven-year-old children.

just kidding, i love tater tots!

I made it last night, it was a hit!!

I made it yesterday. It was alright, but I think next time I will use 2 cans each of soup and and 1 can or so to water it down. It was too dry.

I made too batches of it and fed my sister in-laws who don't like deer and they loved it....at least I got them started....now if I could just get them to try it chicken fried...i will never understand how someone will eat beef thats been standing in its own feces and who knows what else but not eat a deer...

speedbump...I made it and it was really moist...I browned and seasoned 2 lbs of meat really good and also added in some sautéed onions and 1 can of each soup and about a half can of water on top of the tater tots baked 30 min at 350 and then loaded on the cheese..it was not dry at all

I made it yesterday to break in our burger that we ground Saturday (172 finished pounds worth! out of 10 hind quarters ).

I went with 1 can of each soup and 1 1/2 cans of water, whisked it good in a mixing bowl first using hot water. It turned out great, not dry at all.

I baked it at 325 for an hour, put cheese on, turned oven off and let it sit until cheese was melted.
