This tater tot casserole is an inexpensive meal the kids will love. Although I recommend low-sodium cream of mushroom soup for this recipe (because it allows you to control how much salt you want), you can use regular cream of mushroom soup and just reduce the amount of salt you add to the ground beef if you prefer.
