Lightened up Tator Tot Casserole
This is a recipe many adults grew up eating. I was craving comfort food, so I prepped this and stuck it in the oven after school on one of our oh so busy weeknights. I used lean ground beef, but you can use any ground meat you prefer.
Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground beef
1 tablespoon steak seasoning
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen corn
(alternate 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables)
1 can fat free condensed chicken soup
8 ounces nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ large bag of tator tots (enough to top the casserole in an even layer)
Directions:
- Brown lean ground beef breaking up while it cooks. Sprinkle with steak seasoning. Drain fat.
- Spread ground beef in the bottom of a 7×9 or 9×13 dish.
- Pour frozen vegetables over the beef in an even layer.
- Mix the condensed soup and Greek yogurt in a bowl. Then spread over the vegetables and beef.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the soup mixture.
- Arrange tator tots in an even layer in rows on the top .
- If baking now bake at 375 for 30 minutes. If prepping and refrigerating bake for 45 minutes. I cover with aluminum foil for the first third of the baking time and then remove the foil.
- Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy!
