I'm following along and making this now, and I can confirm - it smells AMAZING! 17 minutes left in the oven, and I'm definitely standing right here waiting impatiently lol! UPDATE: If you use tater tots straight from the freezer, cook this for 40-45 minutes instead of 35. Just a suggestion!
@@maureenmay7195 He probably doesn't have to clean it up himself. He has a camera crew so I'm sure he has someone or someones to clean for him. My kitchen always looks like a war zone too!
Thank youi! ❤ I make this about once a month for my family except I add ground beef that I cook in the bacon fat to the bottom of the casserole dish. My family loves it so much!
I’m authentic Midwestern and nobody in my family or friends makes this hotdish anything like this...don’t get me wrong it looks delicious though, just not anything like I’ve ever seen. The recipe we use doesn’t have cheese or bacon in it (although we love cheese and bacon) and the tater tots completely cover just the top and usually we bake them separately first so they get crispy. Underneath the tots we have hamburger and vegetables. It’s really good, I’m sure this recipe is really good too. Tell your folks I says hi.
agree with you (this looks delish and I would put a big scoop on my plate) but midwestern tater tot casserole is more like a shepherds pie with tater tot on top instead of mashed potato. Now hash brown casserole....
My Minnesota Tator Tot "Hot Dish" has diced chicken, mushrooms, onions/celery/carrots, milk/cream sauce. Minnesota wild rice/brown rice. Arrange tator tots on top, bake. Most Minnesotans of a certain age would use Cream of Mushroom soup as the base, but it's much better from scratch.
@@PreppyKitchen I am trying to figure out how to make home-made tater tots, but maybe that is a little too OCD? I suppose I could just do a layer of hash browns on top. Hmmm...that might work.
I absolutely love watching your videos!.. my mouth waters every time I watch you cook!.. I’m going to try making this recipe tom for my son and hubby and the the lemon bars for my 83 year old mom❣️.. thank you!.
This looks sooo good! I love making dishes like this and your'e right. It's perfect for those days when there's even the slightest chill in the air. Thanks for sharing!
Wow I’m so happy for you , you don’t even understand !! I literally was watching you when you had less than 10k subscribers! I couldn’t believe how professional, amazing & addicting your videos were & literally saying “How in the world does he not have millions of subs??” But omg I’m so late & just notice your almost at 1.5 million subscribers! I’m so proud of you & love your energy, your videos!! So much love from New Jersey💙 Congratulations🎉🎉🎉 & I hope you see this comment 🥺💙
He is such a darling gent--his sweetness and enthusiasm--and uber-cleanliness--is intoxicating. Neat that you were a fan before. He really should be famous!
Wow! That looks way different from the one I grew up with (hamburger, onion, can of Veg-all, cream of chicken soup, topped with tots and a little paprika and parsley to be fancy ; ). Yours looks terrific. Saving and we will be trying it. YUM!
So I made it. I did add some button mushrooms, a red pepper & 2 packages of frozen spinach drained. I wanted to fill it out a bit more. It turned out very nice, though I felt it needed more flavor after it was cooked. I'm not sure what I would add next time to spice it up a bit. Tks for the tip on buying a thicker slice of bacon...it absolutely worked. Now I have to stay away from Preppy Kitchen recipies, cause my waist is expanding rapidly. How do you stay so slim.....come on fess up! Blessings & love.
We dont easily find tatter tots in new Zealand so ill try chopping hash browns into cubes. Love yr recipes. I wrk in an aged care home as a chef. U save me many times!✌😊🇳🇿
Made this for dinner tonight! Truly ultimate comfort food! The ranch dressing really ties everything together. So delicious! Love everything about your channel!
I have spent about the last 6 hours, whilst resting, watching all your amazing videos. I love your honesty, fun, excellent humour, you keep it real and you're a fellow Virgo lol 😆 plus love your quirks and sayings....my favourites are 'stir stir stir' 'whisk whisk whisk' 🤣 excellent John, really enjoy your channel and all your recipes whilst watching from Derbyshire in England 🇬🇧 😀 👍
Looks so good!!! I’m a huge fan of your channel. I don’t know how I didn’t find your videos until a couple of months ago. I have made a few of your recipes following your videos. The apple pie turned out delicious. Thank you!!!
Dude! I make tater tot casserole all the time and your recipe is definitely the most unique I have ever seen. Mine is a main dish with hamburger, an assortment of frozen and fresh veggies, cheese and sour cream. I’ll try it sometime.
i just made it!!i used hashbrown patties instead of tater tots bc i couldnt find any, it was still really good and would have been perfect on a cold night:D
Your recipe looks delicious! Could you please explain the difference between: chives, green onions, scallions and spring onions. Can one be substituted for another? Thanks!
I literally just discovered today that you have dinner recipes!! One of my favorites linked to you as an excellent easy butter chicken. I am so excited!!
This sounds AWESOME!! Have you a recipe for a Chicken Bacon Ranch casserole? Or Stuffed Bell Pepper Soup? Love to watch you cook. Had the soup at a casino, it was so delicious!!!!!
I like adding spinach to my breakfast casseroles. Sautee some spinach and garlic with a bit of butter. Trust me on this. It's such a delicious way to add greens to your diet.
do the tater tots have to be frozen when you pour them into the dish? sorry if that's a dumb question lol btw i made your bread pudding recipe and it was the most delicious thing I've ever made. for the glaze i used dark brown sugar instead of light brown and it was just phenomenal. i made it from me and my brother and he ate almost all of it in two days lol
Hey John, love your videos. Wanted to share a tip,I bought this VEVOR rotary cheese grater and thought I’d share it with you. Saves time and knuckles. Lol
John i just want to say, im from the UK and You come across as such a lovely and sweet soul! I look forward to your videos because you have such a sweet calming presence that cheers me up! Im going to try this recipe but as I’m on Keto, I will substitute the tater totts for Brocolli and asparagus but do everything else the same way! Thank you for the recipe x
Hey I'm a big fan! I have a birthday party coming up and I really needed a genoise cake recipe. if u have the time could u maybe do a tutorial on the cake it would be much appreciated I heard its very easy to make and very fluffy!
Any suggestions on making a vegetarian version (no pork, beef, chicken but eggs are ok) of this recipe? What fat could you use in place of the bacon grease? Coconut? Totally making this for my husband and kids this weekend!
Awe your so cute thanks for sharing love your clumpy herbs lol but hey if we don’t play around in the kitchen we don’t get to learn these things 😊thankyou ✌🏻❤️
OMGOSH! Now, I'm STARVING! John, I wanna know your secret to not being as big as a barn considering all the DEEEE-LISH stuff you make. It's time for a confession! LOL!!!
Made this for me and my husband, he loved it so much he had seconds both times we ate it and said he likes it more than my potato casserole. The kitchen smelled so good too with onion and bacon-y goodness
The flame of your burner seems to be on the wild side. It burns the side of your beautiful pan! Since you have some Greek heritage, did you already make melomakarona, kourabiedes, loukoumades or galaktoboureko pie? Greetings from the Netherlands
Use a squeeze bottle with the narrow tip trimmed off instead of a pipping bag for that ranch. I bought a set of 3 sizes and use for various products that are difficult to control the flow of the ingredient. Especially helpful for me was the smallest bottle with a fine tip for ingredients that you want to drizzle like sesame oil, soy sauce, taco sauce, etc. Also less cumbersome and messy than a pipping bag.
I made several of Johns recipes and I've never had a failed one yet. I've tried several tuna casserole recipes on TH-cam and haven't found one my family will eat. Could you post one please?
Love Preppy Kitchen, so always up for a food how-to video. Was hesitant because "tater tots." Sure, I liked them as a kid, but foodie they are not. But after watching this delightful video, I'd be willing to try. Chef makes everything look and sound so appealing--he is just darling!
For the gator tot casserole recipe how do I make that without bacon as I don’t eat pork? Can I use the morning star vegan bacon or just take it out altogether? Thank you Love your recipes btw
Well I was looking for a recipe for tater tot casserole so I was going to watch some videos and pick which one I liked best.....yours was the first one I watched and I really don't need to watch any more. You Win!

Tater tot casserole? Count me in! I love your recipes, and your kitchen is gorgeous (have notifications on)!
His kitchen always looks so clean. Mine always look like a warzone.
the gloriousness of video editing!! Although I don’t doubt his kitchen is clean! 😁
Saaameeee
Hey mine too! (war zone) 👌

He probably doesn't have to clean it up himself. He has a camera crew so I'm sure he has someone or someones to clean for him. My kitchen always looks like a war zone too!
😂😂
I love that you reminisce about childhood smells, flavors and memories. Love! Makes you more “human” and “approachable” :)
His family is so damn lucky
This is exactly what I was thinking!!!!!! 😍😭
Yep!!!👍
I know, I'd be so fat if I got adopted by him! 😂
Ikr? (Why are they not all fat???)
@@DanliciousFood I get fat just thinking about it...oh wait, I already am!
Thank youi! ❤ I make this about once a month for my family except I add ground beef that I cook in the bacon fat to the bottom of the casserole dish. My family loves it so much!

Everything about this casserole looks yummy! We've found ranch dressing hard to dispense from a piping bag or a squeeze bottle, too!
OMG i love your user
It was definitely a live and learn situation but I also found it quite humerous LOLOL
Yummy! Awesome recipe! I can hardly take my eyes away from all that beautiful copper! Your kitchen is so warm and inviting!
That awkward laugh was the best! 🤣🤣🤣 im making this tonight. Thank you for this recipe.
Your all recipes my favourite
John I just loving watching your videos! Enjoy your humour! Thinking about this one for Christmas Eve side dish!
Love your casseroles! Love this hearty soul-food cooking!
I have got tot ty this on a cold chilly day...top of my list...
The piping bag fiasco was so relatable. Thanks for that leaving that in!

Such A great recipe! I made it for my family, and everyone loved it!! Perfect balance of flavors
We dont easily find tatter tots in new Zealand so ill try chopping hash browns into cubes. Love yr recipes. I wrk in an aged care home as a chef. U save me many times!✌😊🇳🇿
If I was making this, there would be maybe half the bacon left for the casserole by the time I I was ready to assemble it! 😂😂😂
This is a must for this weekend. Luv luv luv your recipes 👍👍👍
I made this yesterday on Christmas Eve and my family LOVED it!! Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe! 🌲☃️❤ Merry Christmas!
I currently have this in my oven for Football a Sunday! Thank you so much for a GREAT RECIPE 😊😊😊😊😊❤️
So glad you told us about the chopped sweets episode! Can't wait to see you on the food network more!
With that bacon that looks so good...
I guess we could say it's *too hot to tot!*
What can we substitute sour cream for? If we even can? This looks so yummy!!!!
I heard bacon and cheese, this dish has to be good! ❤️😱
I wish I was in the kitchen to smell this incredible casserole 😱😍👅
It's so good! Hope you get to make it soon.
@Preppy Kitchen I will! 😍😍
