Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground beef or turkey
- 1 10.5-ounce can Low sodium cream of mushroom soup
- 2 cups Frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, green beans, corn)
- 0.5 cup Low sodium chicken or beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 32-ounce bag Frozen tater tots
- 1 cup Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef or turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 6-8 minutes.
Drain excess fat from the skillet and return the meat to the pan.
Stir in the low sodium cream of mushroom soup, frozen mixed vegetables, chicken or beef broth, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and dried thyme. Mix well until everything is fully combined.
Pour the meat and vegetable mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish and spread evenly.
Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the mixture, covering the surface completely.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes.
Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the reduced-fat cheddar cheese evenly over the tater tots.
Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your low sodium tater tot casserole!
