FLAVORFUL TATER TOT® CASSEROLE



Flavorful Tater Tot® Casserole image

This is a tastier version of Tater Tot® casserole with hearty ingredients for a full meal. Made with Owens® Original Breakfast Sausage, Ro*Tel® Diced Tomatoes, frozen broccoli cuts and Ore-Ida® Tater Tots®. I like it because it is easier than shepherd's pie. My friends and their pre-teen kids love it too. Spread more cheese over potatoes before baking if desired.

  • Brown the tater tots before baking. This will help them to get crispy and prevent them from becoming soggy in the casserole.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. This will give the casserole a more complex flavor. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all good choices.
  • Add some vegetables. This will help to make the casserole more nutritious and colorful. Chopped broccoli, cauliflower, or corn are all good choices.
