When I first started this blog, I proclaimed that I was a casserole hater. Over the last almost 2 years of blogging, I have realized that statement was a complete LIE! Haha. I am a casserole lover!  It’s true! There is something about dumping everything into one dish to make dinner easier that most busy families love, myself included. This one is a new favorite of ours!

I have another recipe for Tator Tot Casserole here on my blog that is more traditional with cream soup & you can even make that one in the crock pot. We make that recipe frequently, so I knew this one would be a hit! When I came across this idea of Sloppy Joe Tator Tot Casserole from The Savvy Kitchen, I put it on my make soon list, & boy am I glad I did! We loved it! It’s meaty, sloppy, and the tator tots & cheese give it extra heartiness. This is a great meal that feeds a lot & is so warm & filling. Enjoy!

  2. Looks great. I’m going to try this for sure, I’m curious about why cream cheese is in the mix though…?l

    1. Hi Marge! The cream cheese adds a little extra creaminess, but you could leave it out if you want to.

    Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I have made this several times since you posted it, and my kids LOVE it! The cream cheese is such a nice, creamy addition to it. I do a menu plan on my blog every Friday, and this one is on it this week. Of course, it’s linked back to your blog 🙂 Thanks so much for the recipe.
