How to Make Meatball Tater Tot Casserole in a Crock Pot

Aunt Lou here.

We all loved the Taco Crock Pot Tater Tot Casserole I made a while back that I thought I would try making up a similar recipe with a spaghetti type theme (with tater tots instead of noodles). Wouldn’t you know that Crock Pot Meatball Tater Tot Casserole was a hit! We gobbled it right up!

I didn’t get all fancy with this recipe. I wanted something easy to make up in a hurry without worry about a bunch of measurements. With that being said, if you want to jazz this recipe up with some extra seasonings on top of the seasonings in the spaghetti sauce and meatballs, go for it! Or you can stick with this recipe. It isn’t really a “dump and go” recipe, but a “layer and go” recipe. With the meatballs and tater tots, you get a hearty dish with very little work. Win, win!

What You Will Need for Crock Pot Meatball Tater Tot Casserole

Ingredients Needed

  • 2 lbs Italian Style Meatballs, thawed
  • 24 oz spaghetti sauce (I used traditional style, but you can use your favorite.)
  • 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 32 oz bag frozen tater tots, kept frozen

Equipment Needed

  • Can opener (You will only need this if your spaghetti sauce is in a can and not a jar.)
  • Measuring cup
  • Casserole Crock Pot or 6 Quart Slow Cooker

Time Needed

  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cooking Time: 2 to 3 hours on high, turning your insert halfway through cooking if your slow cooker does not cook evenly
  • Optional Broiling Time: 3 to 5 minutes on high broil, if you want crisp tater tots and have an insert that is broiler safe (Watch continually while your casserole is in the oven. Do not walk away. A recipe can go from perfection to burnt very quickly in a broiler.)

General Notes

  • Looking for more recipes? Our Recipe Finder can help you find exactly what you need.
  • Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
  • As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
  • All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs frozen Italian-style meatballs thawed
  • 24 oz spaghetti sauce I used traditional style, but you can use your favorite
  • 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 32 oz frozen tater tots kept frozen

Instructions

  • Spread your thawed meatballs in the bottom of a lightly greased casserole crock pot or 6-quart slow cooker.
  • Pour your spaghetti sauce evenly over the top of the meatballs.
  • Sprinkle your cheese evenly over the top of the sauce.
  • Spread out your still frozen tater tots on top of everything.
  • Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours, turning your insert halfway through cooking if your slow cooker does not cook evenly.
  • If desired, and your insert is broiler safe, place casserole in broiler on high for 3-5 minutes until the tots have reached desired crispness and golden color. (Watch continually while broiling. Do not walk away. A recipe can go from perfection to burnt extremely quickly in a broiler.)
