This easy recipe for gluten free cheesy tator tot casserole is like having a delicious cheeseburger! I use hamburger to make this the best casserole without cream soup. If you are looking for an easy way to use ground beef this delicious casserole is perfect.

Since going gluten free I don’t eat a lot of burgers with buns. We don’t live in an area that they are usually available and to be honest I just don’t love gluten free buns. So, this casserole tasting like a delicious cheeseburger is perfect.

This casserole goes together really quickly in one pan. If you don’t have a skillet you can use in the oven it’s easy to transfer the cooked ground beef mixture to a 9×13 baking dish. Either chose leaves you with a quick and delicious meal!

Is tater tot casserole gluten free?

Yes! This casserole is made gluten free by using tater tots that are gluten free. Most tater tots should automatically be gluten free, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t processed with other items that have gluten. Always read your labels and make sure your tater tots are gluten free!

Can tater tot casserole be frozen?

Yes. This casserole makes a great freezer meal. Simply put the dish together like you are going to bake it and freeze it instead. This recipe would be perfect to double and make one meal for dinner and one meal to freeze for later.

Can this casserole be made ahead of time?

Yes. You could cook the ground beef, onion, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, broth, mustards, worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper ahead of time. Then layer on the tater tots and cheese. Instead of placing the finished casserole in the oven you could let cool and then cover and refrigerate to cook the next night.
