We Donโt like cream of mushroom soup could we use cream of celery soup?
I haven’t tried this with cream of celery, but think it could work. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!
I would say the foil is simply to help seal the pot….Place foil over pot period. Then set the lid down as you would normally and that will be on top of the foil……
I prepared this last night at home and then brought it to my daughter for dinner. WE ALL LOVED IT!! So easy to make! I added freshly grated parmesan cheese and used yellow pepper as well as ground turkey and turkey pepperoni. This is a keeper! Thanks!!
Hi Beth!
I’m so glad it was as big of a hit at your house as it was at mine! You are a woman after my own heart with the fresh grated parmesan! Yum! I love how you can add to the recipe to fit your family’s pizza favorites! Thanks for sharing!

CAN A NORMAL CROCK POT STAND THE HEAT OF MY STOVE BROILER?
Hi Linda!
Always check the manufacturer’s website for your specific crock. If it is not, then transfer to a broiler safe dish before putting it in your stove. Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
JUST CURIOUS, WHAT’S THE PURPOSE OF USING THE FOIL? Have not tried this recipe yet, but sounds interesting for my picky grandchildren.
Hi Alisa!
The original recipe called foil, so I followed the recipe. Hope your grandchildren enjoy this as much as my kids did!
Aunt Lou
Does the foil go on top of the food, or over the top of the crockpot (under the lid)?
Hi Charlotte!
If you are using a casserole crock, your foil may touch your food because it is pretty full with this recipe, but you just need to place your foil on top of your crock. Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
I have it on now – and I placed the foil directly on the tater tots…. what about the lid of the crock pot – should the foil not touch the taters?
Hi Joey!
Just put the foil on top of your crock pot and place the lid on top of the foil. Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
What is the purpose then of the foil?
Hi Joey!
This recipe came from Gooseberry Patch’s 101 Cozy Casseroles. The original recipe called for the foil, so I followed the recipe. Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
I am in the 4th hour I removed the tin foil and replaced the lid.???
then I will remove some and put under the broiler to brown the tots
After taking the foil off you said to continue cooking on high. How much longer?
Hi P. Arzillo!
Sorry about that! Cook it for an additional hour. I have updated the recipe. Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
Is there any nutritional information for this recipe?
Thank you
Hi Larry!
We do not provide that information, but if you google recipe calculators, you should be able to figure it out based on the brands/ingredients you choose to use. Enjoy!
