I like to try new recipes in my kitchen, hence, Denise's Test Kitchen. I look for recipes that have ingredients that my family would like and that has ingredients that I wouldn't put together on my own.

Everything I like

I don't use Tater Tots very often in my cooking so, when I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it. I have found so many good recipes, like this on from Southernliving.com

Add all the ingredients together..so easy

This recipe is called Cowboy Casserole and is definitely a rib sticking meal. Just imagine sitting around a fire at the end of a long day of riding and having this for dinner. This casserole will find it's way onto my dinner menu in the fall and winter months for sure.

Layering Tater Tots on the top of the casserole mixture is genius! Then the melted cheese on top of that......heaven I tell you, heaven!

Cowboy Casserole.....yes Please!

Tips
  • I used my cast iron skillet and didn't put this casserole in a casserole dish. One pot meal, less to clean up.
