It was wonderful the way you honored your mother by showing her photograph. I'm certain that she's proud of you.
I miss her i do
Thanks for showing us a picture of your Mom. You have mentioned her in so many of your videos. It was nice to see a picture of the lady who taught you so much. God Bless her for raising a great cook!
Beautiful Mama! 💝
She continues to teach through her son, Kent.
Goodmorning Kent, as a black gentleman from Texas, I do want to see a black cowboy enjoying your food and your funny yet wholesome rants. That will fill my heart with joy. Thats america in its purest. After a hard day of work, people of all colors and creed coming together and enjoying a meal. We need it especially today. They trying to divide us so bad, there's talk of civil war 2. We need to unplug from iphones and internet and go back to the basics, eat the food we grow on our land with star spangled banner hoisted high on our camps
Agreed. People of all color, enjoying themselves together. Amen Amigo.
“And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,”
Acts 17:26 NKJV
I agree with you Go Fan Man - especially because some of the finest cowboys in Texas were and are black. Let's see all of us together. Houston here.
That's how it was meant to be brother!!!!
we live in the tower of babel and we will suffer the same fate if this persists
I grew up on this as a MN kid. Tater tots are one of the 'mother' ingredients in the MN hotdish toolkit.
Had to ask a buddy of mine (he's from northern Minnesota) what a "Hot Dish" was.
He's like "casserole" 😂
Should have heard him explain to me what those campers with hydraulic suspension were... lol (ice castle)
@@jameslovitt994 Yea hot dish, casserole mean the same thing here
MN kid here as well and yep! Staple for Wednesday night dinner!
Maj is a 15 lb dog with a 150 lb attitude.
This is one meal my mother would make every week with extra tots.
Thanks for all you do and may God bless you and your family.
I make this recipe very often for my large family. I put it into flour tortillas into burritos, then I toast up the burrito in my cast iron skillet. Sometimes if I make it for breakfast, I'll add in scrambled eggs. This is such a wonderful frugal recipe. Thank you for posting it up.
I love this recipe grew up eating it. But ours had green beans in it.
We used to make the green bean version in college for Sunday dinners (when the cafeteria was closed).
Same here
I was literally sitting here thinking "This needs some kind of vegetable in it." You solved the case!
Sweet corn is really good in this too. I've had it with pea, carrots, onions it all works well for the most part
I put French cut frozen green beans in mine and have also had it with frozen bag of corn, green bean, and carrot mixture at a neighbors place and that was good too. I don’t add cheese either
Always a good day above the grass when the cowboy posts a video 🤙🏼🤠
Great day on this side it is, thanks for watching
First time I've ever heard of this recipe. Sounds terrific. Kinda like an upscaled, down-home shepherd's pie. Thanks for sharing the goodness.
Perfect idea! Shepherds pie with tater tots!
@@UnkaDon I've actually tried that, and it works great. I'd recommend cooking the tater tots (or potato gems, if you're down my end of the world) for a bit before you add them, so they get really crispy.
Shepherd's Pie with Tots is awesome, it's the only way I make it anymore.👍
@@matthewn4896 If you make this in the regular oven, 350 degrees for an hour, then 10-15 monitored minutes under the broiler of the oven will crisp the tops of the tots nicely! keep an eye on it tho, doesn't take long for the already cooked tots to go from crisp to burnt! It's the best of both worlds, the part of the tot that's down in the mix is soft and "saucy", but the top half is nice a crispy.
Serious - Usually always one dish of this at a church potluck dinner! Good food; if you don't eat it every day!
I’ve made chili cheese tater tot casserole and sometimes instead of soup, I use cream cheese. It’s definitely one of those recipes you can adapt endlessly
That actually sounds amazing
@@donniegreathouse72 I was about to say the same thing
share the recipe? 😄😄 I would like to try that actually!
You can also make a breakfast tater tot casserole with pork sausage and eggs.
@@kimberlyplayer I have often thought Ore Ida should sponsor a contest with people entering their version of Tater Tot hotdish.
one of my all time favorite childhood meals
when i was a kid, my mom (sometimes with me helping) use to make this casserole. Since my mom wasn't too big a fan of using ground beef, she used ground turkey. The cheeses we used were both cheddar and Monterey jack. Every once in a while, we would add green beans and corn into it or as a side. We always set it up similar to how you layer lasagna. It was always meat, sauce, cheese and tator tots in that order. Kent is right. The tator tots must be front and center. Even though we cooked it in the biggest casserole dish we have, there was hardly any leftovers. Every one always went back for seconds. Thank you for bringing back some good childhood memories. Now i gotta go and dig out that casserole dish.
My mama always put green beans in it. Brings back sooo many memories thinkin about it
I don't know how this one snuck by me but *MAN* am I happy that it came back around! It might be my very favorite one yet! Not only was the tater tot casserole a wonderful, nostalgic and cost effect recipe, I learned some new add ins. I haven't ever done the chilis or liquid smoke. Don't know why I hadn't though of it! Brilliant. But my favorite part was your stories and pictures. Loved that!! And the honor to your Mama!! Ugh my heart! Great video. 100%
One of my favorite meals ever. Sometimes mixed green beans in before the cheese
Oh man! Tater Tot Hot Dish in a Dutch oven over coals. Mmmm Mmm MMMM!!!
I am going to make this for my 87 year old Mom!!!
Mine will be with Chef John mushroom gravy and Kent Rollins seasoning. Nothing but the best!! Here in Minnesota we skip the cheese. But I will add some sour cream and Worcestershire for flavor.
Thanks I'll be making this!!! And have a great day!!!
Hope you enjoy and thanks Daniel for watching
@@CowboyKentRollins i will and thanks again!
Great video Kent. My daughter and I watched it and she's planning on cooking it for us this week. My two kids get a day each to cook for the family, and so far they're doing pretty good. They get to pick the recipe, and she picked this one for the week.
Hope yall enjoy
That’s very heart warming. You should be a proud father. There’s nothing better than teaching your children to cook. Good work my friend.
Yes potatoes mini hash browns if that helps
What a great idea!
Nothing beats Mom’s recipes, brings back memories. Boy I miss her. Great videos 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
As an European, Oklahoma nature looks very beautiful!
When times are tough, comfort food from our past brings in a smile! Beautiful and simple!
I've been making this for over 30 years...learned from my Grandmother. Very popular Yankee dish, more specifically a Minnesota favorite. Another great video Ken !
My nephew came to live with us years ago and he showed me how to make this one night. I've loved it ever since.
Thank you again Kent and Shannon for sharing the video. The highlight of my UA-cam week. 🙂👍
that brought back a memory! my grandma had me help her make tator tot casserole, and green bean casserole. to this day out of my family im the only one to make it right. everyone trys and it becomes soup!
Kent my son loves tater tot casserole. My wife made a good one. I made your recipe for him and now he won't eat anything else. You make great food. Thank you.
So glad yall enjoyed and be sure and tell him i said howdy
One I love is tater tots, country gravy and breakfast sausage, layered then covered in cheese then baked...
Oh that does sound good
Post the recipe 🤤🤤🤤
@@sstein49 Shoot it ate my reply... There isn't much of a recipe, just ingredients and layer however you want and bake for about 30 mins.
1 bag defrosted tatter tots
2 packets country gravy mix (or make homemade). Will need milk.
2 lbs breakfast sausage, ground
2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or your own choice)
Cook sausage till done. Do not drain grease entirely. Make country gravy via instructions, using sausage oil left behind. Mix together gravy and sausage when done.
Spray non-stick spray in large rectangular cake pan
Layer tots along bottom of pan
Pour gravy and sausage over tots
Cover with cheese or layer between tots and sausage gravy then on top.
Bake till cheese is melted and center is hot.
I'm just giving rough amounts, but make it however you want 🙂 I've had it before but wasn't told the exact recipe...
@@CowboyKentRollins ❤ Ty sir!
I love this meal. You can change it so many ways that it doesn't get old. Really doesn't get old anyway. I'd switch it up from time to time with chicken and cream of celery or whatever you want. A little sour cream is good from time to time.
Thank you Kent and Shannon. Y'all take care and God bless!
You up’d your production level!
Cowboy Kent you and your daughter do a great job with these videos!! Keep up the great recipes please!
Thanks so much, wife it is and oh how i love her
😄 Was the daughter comment joking, or didn't you know?
i'm so glad i found this channel. as an english of course i know how to pronounce the w sauce but now i know that's not a manly thing to do.
i'd never want to embarrass my cohorts who are just as hungry as i am by saying some shakespeare stuff when i can just show them the bottle and say this stuff, pour about a spoonful in!
Thanks Billy for watching
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures in cooking
Our pleasure!
I enjoy your videos
Looks so yummy! Love seeing the pic of your beautiful mom too.
I am totally making this for my family over here in New Zealand :) We've never had it and it looks amazing! Thanks again Kent! God bless you guys!
Awsome cant wait to try it
Hope you enjoy
That looks so good Kent. I just noticed your icon in the bottom right corner. Very cool! Keep doing what you are doing. Your video's are my Wednesday highlight. God Bless you and yours my friend.
Ive commented various times before.. However I cant say it enough....Thank you for the good, delicious, and wholesome food recipes. I especially thank you for mentioning, service members and veterans in your videos. It is rare and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. It means more than you know to hear those words.
This looks absolutely amazing! Sometimes the simplest things are the best
Just had this for supper last night
Food like this is what fills the belly and fills the heart. Thank you both, and your puppies.
The way you pay tribute to your mother is so sweet and wholesome ❤️and the food looks delicious 😋
You never seize to amaze us and make our stomachs smile, thank you Mrs and Mr rollins, and thank GOD for red river ranch seasoning, thanks kent
CEASE
Wife makes this periodically except she adds greens beans to it and we call tater tot pie. But regardless how you make it or what you call it, it’s always good. Love the shows and your products. Hope to meet you and Shan someday in person.
Aloha and mahalo! Great to have an inexpensive and ono (delicious) meal. Especially in these times.
The tribute to your momma... I have never had this dish, but my momma made similar comfort foods that I'll cherish forever. Thanks for being a genuine creator, and hopefully my kiddos will enjoy me making this for them.
Thanks so much and hope everyone enjoys
My childhood favorite…& I still like to make it.
Thank u! 🤤
I love the breakfast version. Gonna have to give this one a try now.
That looks absolutely delicious and I can't wait to try this for myself real soon I'm going to have to tell the wife this is what we're going to make for dinner sometime and we're going to do it thank you for this recipe I think I might try this tuesday.
God bless you Kent and Shannon!
THANKS :)
You're welcome!
That looks so good
Going to try it . Thanks for the recipe .
Hope you enjoy
I sure love your videos! They always make me wish I was a cowboy at your camp. Please keep them coming!
Our mom's are the first cook teachers we have in life. Thank you for sharing a picture of your mom. God Bless you. Thank you for all the great cooking tips n all the wonderful prayers 🙏 you give to our vets.
Well, if this don't look like I gotta make it I don't know what does. Quick and easy with some of my favorite ingredients. Thanks for sharing.
Looks delicious! I like to put a bag of mixed vegetables in mine.
I’m 46, my mom would make this all the time. One of my favorites! Hatch green chili was her specialty, coming from New Mexico. Oh, thank you for making this. I was thinking about making it.❤
Another simple recipe my mom used to make, was New Mexican enchilada. Just, basically stacked tacos, with red chili and the egg on top. The yolk had to be a little runny, yummy!
Looks great Ken and Shannon. The Vikings up here like green beans in it, never had it without them. It's not that there wasn't any beef around. Your all beef version looks great. Thank you for sharing. John T.
Man this is awesome to see this meal get some love. I learned a version of this from my dad and have been cooking it for my kids for years now. Great video thank you for sharing. 😃
We thank you for watching
@Tanner Edge I was going to stream my gaming sessions but I decided it was not for me and I wanted to just have fun when I play and not make it work. Haven’t changed my name back yet lol.
Woohoo! It's Cowboy Kent 🤠 time!!!
Thanks Jimmie for watching
Tater tots and casserole makes me smile.
So good it is, comfort food it is at its best
@@CowboyKentRollins for sure, sir. And you do it so well.
Napoleon, give me some of your tots!!!! LOL. Great job Kent and Shan.
I’m inspired! I’m making this for my family this weekend 💕
I'm soo excited!!! This has been and will always be one of my top favorite meals/comfort foods. Loved this growing up. It's even better the next day!!!!
Mine too!
Grew up with this. As adults, we prepare and give it to families (with children,) who are welcoming a new baby. Kids love it, parents appreciate it! It’s the BEST.
I absolutely love your channel! Thanks for sharing!!! God bless you and your family!
Your welcome and God bless youi
Oh, heavens, "What's your sister" sauce got a good laugh out of me. Thanks Cowboy Kent!
The lunch ladies at my elementary school never made it like that! Looks delicious.
Hadn't thought of adding green chiles, I'll have to try it next time I make it.
Always enjoy your videos from here in Canada. Looks great and all your meals look real good.
This is great, never tried this so it now is a must for the grandkids and the ol guy. I love the "where's your sister sauce", got a belly laugh from that one. Will be downloading the recipe card. Thanks again for another idea of fine dining.
Wow this casserole is my kind of dinner. I am going to make it this weekend while watching football!
Hope you enjoy Kevin and thanks for watching
What a meal!!!! Love and enjoy your videos so much!! God bless you all!!!
Thank you Mr. Rollins this looks fantastic as with all your recipe's, God Bless Sir.
I love tater tot casserole! It's one of the reasons I married my husband. 😁 He makes his really similar to yours.
Sounds good Kent - a dish I shall make for sure, with some minor British adaptations of course! Thanks again for an entertaining and useful video.
Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching
Brian Shersby...
An impeccably British name most indubitably.
You are the salt of the earth. Thank you for sharing your recipes and stories.
My pleasure
I always enjoy your videos. You are a delight to watch cook. All that aside it is your authenticity and the fact you know who you are and where you came from that makes your videos so much fun. Thank You for teaching me cooking techniques and entertaining me along the way. Thank you to that lady Shannon your wife in the back ground who helps and if I was to guess provides a lot of support for you along the way. Keep up the good work!
In my part of the country we call it hot dish. So good on cool fall day!!! Great recipe Cowboy.
This sounds like a great version of the casserole.
I decided to click on description to see full recipe (which I have never done before in your video). I have to give Shannon a lot of credit. I have never seen anyone on UA-cam make such a beautiful recipes page. You go girl! I was very impressed and the page was enjoyable to look at. You are right Cowboy Kent. She is great!! 👍😁🙏
Thank You for sharing and have a wonderful day
This is a recipe I let my wife cook, and she does a great job. Never wasted a teaspoon of it; but I'm definitely going to show her this with the sauce you made. The liquid smoke is a nice life hack.
Is that what he added two drops of?
I can understand him being careful with that. It's too easy to overdo. I always put mine in a spoon first so as not to ruin a meal with too much smoke, though I actually prefer to use smoked sea salt and smoked pepper.
@@valvenator Yup, powerful stuff. I sometimes make my own. I don't recommend it as the store bought is made exactly the same way, only on a larger scale. Just as good. I just do it for fun.
@@davidbuben3262 I tried some cheap brand years ago and it went in the trash. Tried the Wright's brand recently and it's much better. It smells of barbecue and not of a stale ashtray.
Looks delicious 😋
So tasty it is
Looks really good. I have never made it but I volunteer at a soup kitchen and we are making this for the kids summer program. They love this stuff.
I made this last week and it is amazing! I really enjoy your videos especially the stories. I look forward to many more of your videos!
My mom used to make Tuna Casserole with crushed potato chips on top. We all would fight over the top. When I got to be older I said wait I’ll put chips on the bottom and top. Yum. You just have to brown the chips on the bottom before you put the casserole in. Maybe you could put tater tot’s on the bottom too?
My mom used crushed corn flakes
oh man my mum used to do this too and I'm pretty sure she picked up the recipe while she was living in the States!
HOOOOO NOW! Momma made this a lot when I was a yungun. I'm definitely gonna try yours Sir.
Hope you enjoy Robert and God bless you
I thank God that I found you on here. Your videos are a true blessing
Absolutely incredible Kent!!! Nice work
That looks good
It seems like every one makes it with cream of mushroom got to change it up sometimes like cream of chicken or the many other cream soups but still one of my favorite dishes.
So many variables there are
Kent and Shannon (and the pups), with all the craziness there is right now, and all those highfalutin chefs telling us to use high-priced ingredients form Europe or whatever, it is so nice to see you all just bring honest down-home food that has fed Americans for years and doesn’t break the budget to do it. We don’t need super fancy food to bring us all together! Thank you both.
Thank you for watching and God bless you
Great looking cook. God bless the USA. Thank you guys for sharing. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
This is perfect as I have tater tots in my freezer and I keep wondering what I’m going to do with them!
Hope you enjoy
Try it with golden cream of mushroom you wont be disappointed
@@tooljunkie1937 Wjat is golden cream of mushroom vs original of I may ask? and where do you find it?
@@fyourfeelings3946 you can look it up its made by Campbell's l get it from walmart
We add a can of French green beans to ours as well. Love it!
We add whatever we have a can of whatever veggies we have available.
How else would you cowboy up a tater tot but to watch a cowboy do just that with this dish! Happy trails cowboy Kent! Bless you and your momma for making this when you were a young in!
Kent, anything you would cook I would enjoy
Looking delicious 😊 keep on sharing
Thank you so much
Tasty looking recipe!
But as a Minnesotan I must say that I don’t know this casserole that you speak of. We know it simply as a hotdish 😎
Always enjoy your videos Sir. Thank you and God Bless🙏🏼🇺🇸
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
