- Cook the ground beef mixture ahead, freeze, then put together the casserole the night you are going to serve it

Thanks for sharing. We’ll be having this tomorrow for dinner. Adding a salad and green beans.
This recipe looks amazing. It’s next on my list to try.

Making this for dinner tonight. Instead of using ketchup and mustard, I subbed in 1/2 cup of honey barbecue sauce. My oldest son is waiting for it to come out of the oven so he can devour a plateful of it 🙂
Tatertot Casserole was one of my favorites growing up. I haven’t had it in so long. This looks like a great tweak, Liz!
Thanks Jessica
Looks great! Making this tonight for dinner with an old fashioned iceberg lettuce salad. Oh and monkey bread for dessert!! Thanks!!
This is actually something my kids might eat!
Oh. My. THANK YOU!!!
I have five kids, including 10 year old twin boys, one of whom is riDONKulously picky. I was terrified that we’d all love this, but that he wouldn’t touch it because “all the things are touching….”
HE LOVED IT, TOO!!! 😀 It was delicious, easy to prepare (for them…as well!) and fits our budget, as expected.
Hi Brynn, we are thrilled that you and your family liked the Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole! It’s a favorite here too!
