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)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

Set your oven to 375°F (190°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 1½ 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 25–30 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 serving—just enough to avoid burnt mouths from over-excited kiddos.

Why It’s Amazing:

This dish is a magical trifecta of crispy tater tots, gooey cheese, and hidden veggies (shhh, they’ll never notice!). It’s comfort food the whole family can enjoy and easy enough to whip up when you’re 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 themselves—making it fun might even convince them broccoli isn’t so bad.

Happy feasting! 🦃👩‍🍳
