Lasagna Tater Tot Casserole

Get ready for some easy comfort food! This Lasagna Tater Tot Casserole has all the flavours of lasagna we love plus the addition of delicious Tater Tots. It’s simple to assemble and is a family favourite in our home.

The bottom layer is meaty part of a lasagna with ground beef, onions, mushrooms, spices and your favourite spaghetti sauce.

Then on top of that, you’ll add a layer of creamy cottage cheese. I use the full fat variety because it is comfort food, after all.

Grab those frozen Tater Tots from your freezer and layer them on top of the cottage cheese. Don’t worry, they’ll bake completely in the oven. This casserole bakes for about 45 minutes.

The top layer is ooey gooey mozzarella cheese and a sprinkling of Italian seasoning. Serve it hot and fresh from the oven. I serve ours in bowls because it is a little messy! It may not be the prettiest casserole you’ve seen, but it sure tastes good. I hope you enjoy it!

Another name for Tater Tot lasagna is Totsagna. It has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?
