If you want the kiddos to actually eat their veggies this Thanksgiving (without any āyuckā faces), this cheesy, crispy, and oh-so-comforting tater tot casserole will do the trick. Itās simple to make, loaded with cheese, and guaranteed to be a hit for kidsāand adults sneaking seconds!
Ingredients
1 (32 oz) bag frozen tater tots
3 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen, steamed until tender)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom for a veggie-friendly option)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 375Ā°F (190Ā°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Mix the Cheesy Base:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the broccoli and 1Ā½ cups of cheddar cheese.
Assemble the Dish:
Spread the cheesy broccoli mixture evenly in the baking dish. Top with a layer of tater tots, arranging them neatly (or just toss them on, no judgment!).
Add All the Cheese:
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and mozzarella over the tater tots.
Bake to Perfection:
Bake uncovered for 25ā30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy and the cheese is bubbly.
Serve and Watch the Kids Dig In:
Let it cool slightly before servingājust enough to avoid burnt mouths from over-excited kiddos.
Why Itās Amazing:
This dish is a magical trifecta of crispy tater tots, gooey cheese, and hidden veggies (shhh, theyāll never notice!). It’s comfort food the whole family can enjoy and easy enough to whip up when youāre busy managing a Thanksgiving feast.
Pro Tip for Picky Eaters:
For extra kid-friendly points, let them sprinkle the cheese or arrange the tater tots themselvesāmaking it fun might even convince them broccoli isnāt so bad.
Happy feasting! š¦š©āš³
