I make this too sometimes...but I use cream of mushroom soup and add corn and ranch style beans.

Have made this twice now and picky eater husband ( who usually isn't fond of casseroles) gobbled it up both times& ate seconds too. I've used ground turkey w/ cream of chicken soup and cream of mushroom w/ ground beef. Some people make a version of this in the crock pot but if you want crunchy tots do it the oven way! Love this and have now made it a regular monthly meal!

I made a variation of this using chicken instead of ground beef. I simply cut up tenderloins into bite sized pieces, and baked them for 40 minutes, then added the soup, cheese and tots, and baked for about 10 minutes or so to melt the cheese and it was amazing!

My mom used to make this when we we're kids and in my opinion it's very bland when made the way this recipe says to. It certainly needs something to kick it up a notch.
