Tater Tot Casserole
A Favorite Comfort Food, with a few healthy swaps & additions
Equipment
- 9x13" casserole dish
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey sausage
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, chopped
- 4 oz chopped mushroom
- 1 14 oz can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 14 oz can cream of celery soup
- 1 frozen bag tater tots (32 oz)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 400 degrees.
- Spray the edges of a 9x13" casserole dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking
- Begin by browning ground turkey in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through. No pink should be remaining. Drain off any remaining liquid & discard.
- Add the chopped onion, sliced bell pepper, chopped mushroom, and chopped celery and continue to cook until onion becomes translucent.
- Once cooked, add to the bottom of a 9x13" casserole dish and spread evenly across the bottom of the dish.
- Spread cans of soup evenly across the top of the meat & vegetable mixture, and cover completely.
- Top with tater tots placed in the soup in an even layer, and cook for 35 minutes in the 400 degree oven.
- Once the tots have browned, remove the dish, sprinkle the 1 cup cheddar cheese mixture over the top and put back into the oven until the cheese is melted, about 5-10 more minutes.
- Allow to cool, and enjoy!
Notes
Feel free to reduce the sodium further in this dish by using plain ground meat, and seasoning with salt-free seasonings!
Also, my vegetable choices are simply what I prefer. Feel free to add or eliminate per your preferences. *Chopped celery is a great addition!*
