How to Make Tater Tot Casserole in a Crock Pot
Spray your 6-quart crock pot with cooking spray and pour in your tater tots. In a medium saucepan, melt your butter on the stove. Add in your soup, sour cream, chopped onions and 1 cup of Cheddar cheese. Stir over heat until everything is well combined and the cheese is almost all melted. Pour your mixture over your tater tots. Sprinkle on your remaining cheese. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours. And that’s it!

After you pour the mixture on the tots, do you stir after and then pour the remaining cheese on top or no?
No need to stir! Just pour the mixture on top and then top with the shredded cheese. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!
Delicious! I did 2 1/2 times the recipe because I had a 5 lb bag of tater tots, and It was for a really big potluck. I used 2 cans of the soup and 24 oz of sour cream and subbed Colby jack (and probably used a little more than the recipe called for). Came home with an almost empty crock, and I was asked for the recipe multiple times! Make it. You wonโt regret it!
So glad that you enjoyed it as much as we do!
When you doubled the recipe,did you have to double the time???
i double the recipe (big family) but use 1 Cream of Chicken and 1 Cream of Mushroom soup; I add a block of cream cheese, 2 chopped yellow onions (medium), a a tsp of garlic powder. YUMMY.
Sounds like some delicious alterations to this recipe! I’m so glad you made it your own and enjoyed it!
This recipe is simple to make and was a hit a reent party! Next time I might add some cookied bacon for extra flavor!
I’m so glad to hear it Patricia! Your idea sounds delicious! If you give it a try, let me know what you think.

Can crockpot recipes be made the night before..I have to be at work 5 am..no time to prep in the morning
Hi Tammy!
Some of them can be prepped the night before. It depends on the recipe. For instance, you wouldn’t want to prep one the night before that has raw potatoes in it because the potatoes would turn brown. I have, however, prepped some meatloaf recipes the night before. I haven’t tried doing that with this recipe, but think it could work. If you give it a try, let me know how it turns out!

I made a wfpb version of this and it was excellent! Thank you for sharing.
What could I sub for the sour cream? I don’t like it but I love ricotta cheese. Could I use that? I don’t like yogurt either. I am a super taster so I can’t eat either of those. We have tater tots but not a whole bag so I will have to half the recipe. This sounds good minus the sour cream.
Hi Gail!
I haven’t tried this recipe with ricotta cheese. I believe it would change the texture of the recipe, but if you give it a try, let me know how it turns out!
~Aunt Lou
Maybe you can sub cream cheese and a little milk for the sour cream. The texture would still be the same without the tangy taste.
This sounds sooo good and the sauce tastes delicious! It is crocking as I write. Also I couldnโt comment on your Dilly roast recipe. Another new favorite here! Who would think dill pickles!! Iโm going to try the Mississippi roast next. ๐
