These tater tot casseroles are the perfect answer when you want to make a casserole and want something super kid-friendly.

I love casseroles because, first of all, they are delicious and the epitome of comfort food, and second, they are super easy to make. The problem is that my kids consider anything that doesn’t have some variation of cheese and sauce, hot dogs, or french fries to be a waste of time and energy.

These tater-tot casseroles are the best of both worlds. They’re a comforting casserole, and Tater Tots are on my kids’ acceptable list.
