Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 bratwurst sausages
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves chopped garlic
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.75 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until softened. Add chopped garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Slice bratwurst into 1/2-inch pieces. Add them to the skillet with the onion and garlic, and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove from heat.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.
Spread the bratwurst mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the bratwurst.
Spread 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the soup mixture.
Layer frozen tater tots over the cheese in a single layer, covering the surface completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow the dish to cool for 5 minutes. Optional: Sprinkle with paprika for a touch of color before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Brats N Tots Bake with a side salad or your favorite dipping sauce!
