I’m so glad you tried and liked my recipe! My family loves it too!

OMG.. it is SO good! Thank YOU 🙂 XO
Sarah Hamrick says
I tried this dip and everyone loved it , but it seemed a little to dry and I felt like it needed salt
Keeley McGuire says
Good golly, this sounds crazy filling but absolutely delicious. HAHA 🙂
AWESOME as always!
Corey says
OMG Keeley….it is so. I kept saying I was only going to have 1 more bite. 10 bites later….hehe
Sarah says
Love the family photo! I will definitely be giving the vegetarian version a whirl! Look sinful and delicious!
Corey says
Awesome Sarah! We used Trader Joe’s fake ground beef and it worked out GREAT! Man, could I go for some more right about now 🙂 XO
nancy says
I am wondering when you say Mrs . Dash salt free seasoning (or any seasoning) what flavor did you use? I think there are a few Mrs. Dash and I was just wondering which one you used. Any help would be appreciated.
Corey says
Hey Nancy! I used Mrs. Dash Table blend. But any of those “all purpose” seasons will work. That is just what I had on hand. Potatoes, cheese and ground beef are all pretty bland, so you just need something to add seasoning 🙂 Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions 🙂 XO
B says
This looks delicious 🙂

Pictures look great – one question: how does the dip hold up sitting on the counter at a party? will it congeal?
Corey says
Even out of the oven it is a thicker dip, so I wouldn’t say it congeals, but stays the same consistency. I thought it tasted great the whole time it was out. Hope that helps Belle. XO
belle says
That’s what I wanted to hear–I will be taking this to our neighbor’s Super Bowl party. As much for me as for everyone else! Thanks!
Michelle P says
Hi is there anything I could substitute the sour cream with?? 🙂
Rachel says
You could try Greek yogurt! The non flavored kind, of course.
Nora says
Hey, if you think it’s bland, saute some diced onions in butter, throw in a small amount of diced garlic, then mix that in before baking. Or, try layering some Durkee dried onions under the cheese before baking. Either way is really delicious!
Corey says
Sounds great Nora!
Meghan says
Reading the ingredients is already making my mouth water! Definitely making this for a birthday party were having tonight. Question though… What chips, crackers, etc did you eat with this? Just trying to get some ideas of what it goes good with. Thanks! 🙂
Corey says
We have used a ton of different kids of crackers. I am a fan of a Triscuit type cracker. Have you seen the flip-side crackers? One side is a pretzel…so yummy with this. You just need to stick with a sturdy cracker or tortilla chip 🙂 Hope that helps! Enjoy 🙂
Sam says
I am adding lots of your recipes to my collection…. Some items aren’t available here in the uk – do you think hash browns would work in place of tater tots?
Cheryl S says
Forget the crackers or chips…….give me a fork and watch out!!! Sounds like a new way to make tater tot casserole…lol
Corey says
Bahhaha. I’m with your Cheryl! hehe
Heidi says
I made this last night with sausage instead of ground beef and believe it or not—-added salsa for a little kick and it was really good!!! I made mine in a crock pot to take to our party and it was a HUGE hit, everyone wanted the recipe!! Thanks!!
KG says
Ineeded a party recipe so I tried this. Like Heidi, I made it with sausage – I used sage style. It really seemed too thick to be a dip, so I ran out for more sour cream. Still seemed too thick for dip so I went with that, and beat a couple eggs and mixed them in too. It came out like a casserole / side dish and everyone enjoyed it.
For a easy Sunday morning, I would make it ahead, but add more eggs and morph it into a breakfast casserole.
Liz says
Nice recipe, Corey. Thank you. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Kathy says
I followed the recipe (but added fried onion and extra spices) but there is no way on earth it would fit in a pie pan. So, I measured 3 cups of tater tots, and chopped them. Seems it was more than 3 cups when chopped. So is it 3 cups AFTER chopping? I put it in a small casserole, because it would have made two 9″ pie pans full at least.
Jayne Bunn says
Could you make this dip with no meat in it at all?
