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 9x13 baking dish. Either chose leaves you with a quick and delicious meal!
