Easy Cheesy Meatball Tater Tot Casserole is one of my family’s favorite go-to casseroles!! Plus it is officially that time of year at my house. School has started back up, soccer season is in full swing, and we are just on the go all the time! It’s time for casseroles to make for quick and easy dinners, mainly to save my sanity, but I am okay with that since it means the fall cooler weather is here!!

Now I tend to make most of our meals with the kids, one is always in there helping out. The girls, however, tend to love to bake while Michael is my little chef and “Master Creator” as he tends to refer to himself. It is really fun to watch his brain piece together how a recipe works.
Now on more complicated recipes I will jump in and help him out with brainstorming but for this one, I told him he had to use Cooked Perfect® Meatballs Homestyle and that I wanted a casserole for the dinner. He based our casserole on a favorite of his, Tater Tot Casserole, which unearthed his new creation Cheesy Meatball Tater Tot Casserole.

Cheesy Meatball Tater Tot Casserole Directions:
I used a 2.5-quart casserole pan when we made ours, It’s actually one of my favorites! My sister in law gave it to me as a gift! I bake in it and then put the lid on it to store the leftovers! You can grab them on Amazon -> here.
Be sure to adapt the amount of the ingredients according to the size of your pan.
Spray your pan with a nonstick spray and preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Layer in the meatballs into the bottom of your pan and cook for about 20 minutes in the oven.
In a bowl, mix together the cream of chicken, a bit of milk, and some of the cheese before you pull the meatballs out of the oven.
After the meatballs are cooked, layer the combined cream of chicken and cheese on to the meatballs.
Top the cream of chicken and cheese with tater tots and more cheese.
Bake in the oven at 350 for about 30-40 minutes until the tater tots are golden brown and the cheese is melted all the way
Now with the addition of the Cooked Perfect Meatballs, we have completed our meal filled with great flavor! Enjoy!!!

Cheryl says
This meal is so easy and delicious! My family loved it!
Karen says
Sounds great,I make one with chicken, but this recipe has milk? How much do you use, and I noticed milk was not listed down the page ,thanks!
Jason says
Didn’t have tater tots, subbed in seasoned waffle fries. Instant hit with my kids!
Sue Woodring says
Do you use a whole bag of tater tots? How much cheese?
Jenny says
It depends on the size of the pan you are using. This pan wasn’t quite a full bag and the cheese is kind of to your preference. I just kinda dump and spread around the cheese.
Joette says
I made this, but I used cream of mushroom soup as my kid doesn’t like cream of chicken. It turned out great my son and husband finished the hole casserole, no left overs.
Thanks for the recipe
