Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 1 medium, diced bell pepper
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 8 oz, sliced cremini mushrooms
- 12 oz frozen mixed vegetables
- 10.5 oz can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet, cooking until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are tender and release their moisture, about 5 more minutes.
Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet and cook until they are thawed, around 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and heated through.
Pour the vegetable mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the vegetable mixture.
Arrange the tater tots in an even layer on top of the cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until the tater tots are golden and crispy.
Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Vegetarian Classic Tater Tot Casserole!
