Tater Tot Venison Casserole Recipes

VENISON TATER TOT CASSEROLE (OR USE GROUND BEEF)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to the temperature specified on the tater tots package.
• Place tater tots on a baking pan and bake for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, brown venison with minced garlic and onion. Drain.
• Add cream of mushroom soup to meat and stir until mixed.
• Pour mixture into a greased casserole dish.
• Sprinkle cheese over the top of the meat mixture.
• Top with tater tots. (I usually have leftover tots, good to munch on while dinner's cooking!).
• Top tater tots with garlic powder and salt.
• Bake for about 20 minutes, or until casserole is bubbly and the tater tots are browned.

TATER TOT VENISON CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Dice onion and brown venison with the onion, salt to taste, pepper to taste and garlic to taste.
• Put cooked venison in casserole dish. Drain green beans and layer on top.
• Layer the 2 cans of soup on top of that.
• Sprinkle cheese on next layer.
• Top with frozen tater tots ( I usually let mine set out while I am preparing the venison so they are not so frozen). I usually don't use the whole bag. Just enough to cover the top with one full layer.
• Cover with aluminum foil and cook 350°F for an hour.
• Uncover and cook an additional 15 minutes or until tots are browned and crispy.
• I then salt, pepper the top, but that is up to your taste.
