Ain’t nobody ever eating “casserole” anywhere in Minnesota. We eat hot dish here. If you do make a “casserole” in Minnesota, a circle of Lut’ern church ladies will burn your Minnesotan card and make you move to Wisconsin.
Brown a pound of hamburger. Mix it with 2 cans cream of chicken or mushroom or broccoli or whatever cream of soup you like.
Line a casserole dish with tater tots. Add your creamy meat amalgamation and spread it all over the top of the tots. Then add another layer of tots on top. Cover with shredded cheese and bake it covered with foil for however long the tot bag says to bake them. Then uncover and broil it to crust up the cheese.
This is just a base mind you. You can add stuff to it to your hearts content. Add green beans to make yourself feel better about this carb nuke you’re about to consume. Top with canned biscuits to make a pot pie. etc.
We do not eat “tater casserole.”
We eat tater tot hotdish.
All tater hotdishes are casseroles
Not all casseroles are tater hotdishes

But will they be Minnesota nice while they do so?

This is my favorite recipe, the cheddar cheese soup kicks it up a notch.
