This is not gourmet, let's be clear about that. But it does taste good and is great comfort food.
Cook well,

I grew up in Minnesota and my mom always mixed the ground beef with green beans and cream of celery all together after browning the meat then laid Tators tot on in a row. The layers you placed it on doesn’t incorporate the cream of celery into the beef and possibly makes tator tots soggy on the bottom!?
Oh, and of course for dessert we had "bars." Haha! I'm from California and had never heard of bars before until I went to Minnesota!
"bars"?
I grew up in the great state of Minnesota, but my Mom was the only mom on our block who did NOT make tater tot hotdish! She DID however make hamburger hotdish using stewed tomatoes and elbow macaroni every week during those long winters. Never got sick of them. My Mom was a pretty good cook who fed our whole family well and made sure there was enough for everyone She took great care of our whole family! ❤
Great story, thanks for sharing. what is hamburger hot dish, I've never heard of that.
@@cookingfordads oh my, you ARE joking, are you not?
@@sandrasherritt9708
I am not
@@cookingfordads well sir! I had not heard of it either, until I saw Joe of NorthernSeclusion demonstrate it on his channel. It is one of his favorites, altho I think he calls if TACO HOT DISH as he puts taco seasoning in the hamburger meat. It has macaroni in it. The thing I have that is the closest to his dish is chili/mac! Which I do like, and it has beans in it too. I don't buy tator tots any more, but I used to when my girls were growing up and then, only on occasion.
LOVE Minnesota Hotdish. There's a million different ways to make it. Personally, I like to use cream of leek soup. Gives it a nice savory flavor. 🤗
and where would one find cream of Leek soup?
Aw, this brings back memories. The first time I ever had this was at my grandma's house in Minneesota! She was a wonderful cook, and anything she made tasted awesome, including this! Thank you for making this!
"Doesn't need to be a layer" proceeds to spread it into a layer.
Thank you for sharing! I'm going to make this for my family. Have a nice day!
I'm interested in the roots of the word "casserole", because there have always been so many variations throughout history. The term "hot dish" definitely sounds like some Arctic pole explorers from Canada, made it home and were in such a rush to eat a hot meal! Thank you for the cooking ideas. I watch Gordon Ramsay on his UA-cam channel alot but never subscribed to it. I found your channel and i subscribed right away. 😋 THANK YOU!
in minnesota, any form of casserole is called a hotdish, not just the ones made with tater tots. tuna noodle casserole would be called a hotdish in minnesota.
Been here 22 years, now, hoping to get the accent down soon. :-)
I visited the united states for a few months and just got back in Amsterdam. Your videos remind me of some good times there :) gonna subscribe and keep it up!
BTW, there's a fancy version I'm going to do someday that will be more along your liking. :-)
Pretty drab..... I'd add some onion powder, garlic powder, dash of cayenne and some cajun seasoning to the meat mixture....and some sour cream (maybe 1/2 cup) to the soup mix. Mix the cheese in with everything and plenty on top. If you can handle a little heat ( I know...most Minnesotans can't)...add a chopped jalapeno to the onions and meat while sauteing.
I'm so happy to see u back again :)
I do believe it's time as Minnesotans we do not let this sort of thing fly. We need to making our own rouge for our beloved dish, we need to add the right cheeses and the right beef. I implore minnesotans to take this dish as seriously as it tastes. God sent us this hot dish and let us not disappoint.
Yeah! RIGHT ON! YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY A PATRIOT. I am not a Minnesotan, but I know a crappy dish when I see it.
Thanks, those are good tips. There are lots of additional things that can be done to the dishes I make. I'm just trying to keep it as simple as possible. But yours are good if one is really trying to cut the fat. thanks and keep suggesting things.
Sounds like a great dish & I will be trying it . Hope to see some knew videos soon , haven't seen any in a while . You must have had a busy summer : )
They use to make this when I was in elementary school. God I love this dish! Just my preference: I love adding Sriracha sauce before I eat.
Me too, ah those school lunches. Sriracha is my favorite as well.
Bars, yeah I should do a video on them. It's such a midwestern thing. Have a great day.
looks so good
Thank you , keep watching and spread the word!
I am actually gonna prepare this tonight..in about an hour *lol*. I love using just corn instead of the mixed veggies. Have a wonderful New Year, Rob! Good riddance to 2020!
Thanks so much. Blessings to you and yours as well. Love to see what you make. What a fun dish.
yes, I would like this more, because I think frozen (or canned) "Mixed Vegies" are truly gruesome.
Thanks for explaining what a HotDish is. I was a little baffled when I first heard that reference. I’m trying your Casserole tonight. Lol
So fun, thanks. Let me know how it goes.
Me too, although I haven't been totally gone. :-) It's been a busy year.
I make this a lot and I use one can of cream of mushroom and 1 can of cream of celery.. but I don't do it in a letter like that I mix the soup and the hamburger and vegetables all together in a bowl first and then spread it out in the pan and put the tater tots on top of it. and you also need to season the meat. it really adds to it if you season the meat with taco seasoning
Thanks for watching. Cream of mushroom is the traditional choice, I'm just not a big fan of mushrooms.
I like making tater tot hotdish for my kids. It's nice to see them really like something I make. It's kind of interesting to see how other people make a simple recipe like this. I do it a little different. Brown the burger and onion in a soup pot. I then spoon off the fat and add everything but the tots to the pot and mix it together. I add a little milk to thin it and make it a little saucy. Heat it up before you put it in the baking pan and put the tots on top. That way it doesn't have to bake very long.
Thanks, you should try the chicken rollups recipe. Kids love it.
yeah, finishing up last year in uni. but i'll be ok, will try some of the cheaper recipe's ;)
mmmm i am so trying this recipe :)
Thanks, and be well over there, big changes in the Euro it seems
I take my hamburger and onions drain that but return it to the skillet add my bag of frozen vegetables my can of cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup mix that altogether then put it in a baking dish with tater tots and cheese. For me it just mixes all the flavors together better.
That's a great idea. Thanks for watching
That's kind of what I do I mix everything together in a bowl and then pour it in the casserole dish. Then spread the tater tots on top. And I cook it about halfway through and then add the cheese on top and then finish it in the oven..
Sounds awesome.
I`ll cook that one day
I'm not a pro hockey fan, but if I was it would be of the Wild. BTW, I did produce and help write their theme song. (unrelated fact) :-0 you can hear it on my Third Street Music net page
my god so Delicious =o i want some mmm
Great video! One thing, though, having grown up in Minnesota I can tell you that you should not substitute French Fries for Tater Tots. Stick with tots and you can't go wrong. ;-)
agreed,French Fry Hot Dish is not the way to go
@@cookingfordads however, if you want to avoid overly-processed foods, you could top it with home-made mashed potatoes. Skip the frozen MIXED-vegies and add something fresh instead. I know, I know, then it would cease to be "Minnesota hot-dish", but such are the vicissitudes of life. Things cease to be, such as the autonomy of the people of the Ukraine, due to selfish, evil, mankind. Feeling heartbreak for a people who just want to be left the eff alone.
@@sandrasherritt9708 Quite the connection from Tater Tot Hotdish to the crisis in Ukraine. But any use of vicissitudes is great. See this recipe - ua-cam.com/video/j8a1WLkmmDM/v-deo.html

Thanks, it actually is. Go figure.
Totally unrelated to your video -- are you a Wild fan?
I mean essentially it is a shepherd's pie but using tater tots instead of mashed potatoes.
Exactly, in Minnesota we really like to copy things. You should try it, it's really good.
He didn't season the meat though..
+Blueevoy_6000 This is Minnesota where there is no spice
@@ronaldschultenover7591 So I've heard. I live here in Dallas and just LOVE my Tex-Mex. My daughter moved to Minneapolis and works as a cook. She said people freak out about a little spice or chili peppers.
Hold on, it will get better ... someday
shepherds pie. I am from New England
Glad they didn't catch me. Store are so persnickety.
Not trying to bash on you or anything...but where is the seasonings? Down in Chicago we use seasonings to add flavor and this doesn't seem to have any flavor what so ever!
Ivanah Atkinson This is Minnesota, Flavor and spice are bad words up here. Actually you should give it a try. It's really good.
If anything use a bit of cayenne
Yep you can add whatever you like. A little sriracha is great.
Ivanah Atkinson again this is minnesota we are just different
Why do you need to see him add the seasonings? Season it however you want to. You’re the one who will be eating it.
I would prefer Cream of Mushroom instead of Celery.
most recipes call for cream of mushroom, I just don't like mushrooms. But you are correct, most would prefer cream of mushroom.
You can use whatever cream soup you like including cream of onion, celery, or mushroom.
Just not a mushroom fan
just a suggesiton.......use a collander in the bowl and all the grease will drain in the bowl, then take collander to sink and run warm water over the meat until all grease is gone. You have just made this recipe 33 percent less calories and fat..............
Whats hot dish....
its a casserole
@@cookingfordads 😋😁
Canned soup, yuck.
Mary Therese McCool it's better with just fresh cut veggies and no soup
Make yours from scratch then. The channel is called “cooking for Dads”. The idea is to help someone who has little to no cooking experience make food for their kids. One step at a time.
yuck! my dad and all my brothers are from minnestota.... i've never heard of that before. and do not want to try it!
Ella and pink Minecraft Gaming I'm about to have some right now and it is going to be amazing
I'm picky as hell and hate veggies, but like this hotdish a lot.
There are lots of versions of Tater Tot Hotdish out there. My mom's is nothing like this one.
You're doing it wrong. Lol
hahahahahahahahahahahaha! you funnee!
Sorry I'm just going to say it. You made a terrible hot dish. But of course this is my opinion.
I actually liked, it but oh well.
Ok so I may have over reacted. You just forgot to do one crucial thing. And that is mixing the vegetables, cheese, and meat. Sorry for being rude.
@@joannebrockton6752 It should be OK Joanne. I was rude too and I didn't even apologize for it. Was just rude and let it fly!
