Hamburger Tater Tot Skillet Bake Recipe: Easy and Delicious!

This recipe is my version of the tater tot casserole that is out there. My family loves the version I came up with as it uses a cream of cheddar soup instead of the standard cream of mushroom. You will need the following ingredients:

Carefully remove this from the oven and sprinke the other 1/2 cup of cheese over the top and place back into the oven for 5 minutes.

Note: You can make this in a casserole dish also, I just find that cooking it all in one skillet makes for much easier clean up. You add more cheese if you prefer.

I like to serve this with a dinner roll and a side salad on the side
