I'm fixing to make this next week, what you posted below, I know that it's subjective but what seasonings did you use. The tator tot casserole has always been one of my favorites. Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty and persistence. Colin Powell

I baked it. uncovered at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. Everyone really liked it. Meat was not frozen, so if meatballs are frozen, thaw them out first and mash them to mix with seasonings, onion and vegies. you could use any frozen veggies you like or leave them out. *smile* Regina Marie Phone: 916-877-4320 Email: reginamariemu...@gmail.com Follow me: http://www.twitter.com/mamaraquel Find Me: http://www.facebook.com/reginamarie Listen Live: http://www.jandjfm.com -----Original Message----- From: Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Nicole Massey via Cookinginthedark Sent: Monday, October 06, 2014 9:11 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org; sayegh.m...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [CnD] Tater tots and meatballs Well, in that situation I'd do one of the two following ideas. 1. Mix tater tots and meatballs, frozen, in a dish or crock pot with some sautéed onion and maybe a can of mushroom pieces and stems. Pour a can of cream of mushroom soup over it and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Then bake (you'll need to decide how long to bake) or cook in the crock pot, covered, until the tater tots are done and the cheese is melted. (You'll need to test it and decide on how fast you want it to cook to determine what temperature you use on the crock pot) Or you could replace the soup with spaghetti sauce and the cheddar with parmesan. In this case I'd definitely opt for the onion and mushrooms, possibly even fresh sliced, and consider black olive slices and diced bell pepper too. You'll need to figure out the temperature particulars -- tater tots are cooked at around 400°f, while that'd be too hot for the meatballs, so you'll have to play with it a bit. > -----Original Message----- > From: Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] > On Behalf Of sayegh.mary--- via Cookinginthedark > Sent: Monday, October 06, 2014 11:08 AM > To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org > Subject: [CnD] Tater tots and meatballs > > Hi guys, I am wondering if anybody has any recipes where I can use > tater tots and meatballs?
