After a big coupon-clipping group shopping trip, one of my friends sent me home with a massive bag of frozen tater tots to help keep my groceries cool in the car until I got home. I typically don't eat tater tots unless I've got all my nieces and nephews with me, so I had to get creative to use these up.
Brown hamburger and put in casserole dish. Add celery and onions. Mix soups together and pour over. Cover with Tater Tots. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes.
This is a classic casserole with chicken and creamy soups.

I took a recipe and changed everything we didn't like and added other stuff so it doesn't resemble the original recipe much, but my husband and teenage son love it...
