Tater Tot Casserole Recipe is a Favorite Leftover Ham Recipe

Kids love this one and the grown ups find it surprisingly tasty as well. You can also leave out the ham and serve as a side dish with your ham on the side. Whip up a quick green salad and you've got yourself a meal. As with all recipes, feel free to substitute other ingredients you may have on hand. You can absolutely substitute cream of mushroom, cream of celery, cream of chicken or cream of just about anything; they all taste the same once baked into a casserole. The different types of cheeses would also be an interesting twist. Have colby jack? Use that. And if your kids are as picky as mine, you'll probably want to leave out the onion or only place it in one area.
