Pizza Tot Casserole

Most of us remember eating “Tater Tot Casserole” growing up. It seems that everybody’s mom had their own version. It usually consisted of some sort of cream of whatever soup, ground beef, a veggie – usually corn or green beans and tater tots. While that version is great, I personally think this casserole is better! My family just loves it …. and yours will too! It’s super easy to make and is a nice variation of the classic! Enjoy!

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound Italian sausage
  • 3 ounces pepperoni slices, halved
  • 1 small green pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 4 ounces fresh mushrooms, chopped
  • 1 jar pizza sauce, 14-15 oz.
  • 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded, 8 oz.
  • 1 bag frozen tater tots, 32 oz.

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a skillet, brown and crumble sausage with the green pepper, onions and mushrooms over medium-high heat. Cook until the sausage is no longer pink and the vegetables are tender-crisp. Drain. Return the mixture to the pan and add the pepperoni and pizza sauce. Mix well. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top with Mozzarella cheese. Top with tater tots.
  • Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Notes

    This looks delicious. I make something very similar, but use egg noodles instead of tater tots. But, definitely trying the tater tots next time!
