Our entire family goes crazy over Cheesy Tator Tot Casserole. It’s loaded with hearty meat and lots of cheese.

Slow Cooker Tator Tot casserole recipe is so easy!

If you are in the market for a new crockpot, I love this casserole crock pot.  It is perfect for casserole style slow cooker recipes.

I bought mine on Amazon,and I love it. It is perfect for the Holidays and really year round.

Plus, it is just so pretty. We can still enjoy all our favorite casserole recipes without ever turning the oven on.

If you prefer a traditional style crock pot, I recommend one of the Ninja Cookers. I love these because you can brown the meat in the same pot.

It really cuts down on clean up and that is a plus for busy moms.

Another favorite is this programmable crock pot  for when I am am not at home all day. I love coming home to a nice meal ready and waiting!

I also like to use crock pot liners to make clean up a breeze. These are worth every penny and save a ton of time.

This is especially helpful during busy weeks of school and activities. I’m all about crock pot liners. 

If you do not use crock pot liners, I recommend using cooking spray to help with clean up in the slow cooker.

Let’s get started making this easy tater tot casserole!

Ingredients for crock pot tator tot casserole:

• 2 pounds ground beef, browned
• 1 can Cream of mushroom soup
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons pepper
• 16 oz package frozen tator tots
• 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

How to make Tater Tot Casserole in the slow cooker:

1. Brown ground beef and add the browned beef to the crock pot.

2. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, minced garlic, salt and pepper.

3. Top with half of the cheese.

4. Then spread out the frozen tator tops evenly over the crock pot.

5. Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours. Or cook on high but reduce cooking time.

6. 30 minutes before you are ready to eat top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.

This easy tator tot casserole crock pot recipe is also very versatile.

You can add a can of cream of mushroom soup and make it more creamy. You can add taco seasoning and a can of rotel or salsa and make it a taco tator tot casserole.

We have even added fresh mushroom. Yum!

Sometimes we add onion or green pepper. I think it gives the ground beef really good flavor and it is a nice way to change it up a bit.

If I dice the onion and pepper really small, the kids don’t know it is in the meat mixture.

I use a small food chopper or food processor to quickly and easily chop onions. If you do not have one of these, I highly recommend them.

They are such a time saver and you can get the veggies really fine if you have kids like mine.

I usually just chop the entire vegetable and freeze what I don’t need. It’s so nice to be able to just take the diced onion out of the freezer for recipes.

Learn and  how to freeze onions and also how to freeze peppers to save so much time in the kitchen!

This is how I meal prep. It’s so quick and easy and helps get dinner on the table fast.
