Vegan breakfast tater tot casserole how to#
If you have never had it, let me tell you, it’s the most comforting, easy, gooey, cheesy, casserole recipe, ever!!! And thanks again to my mom for teaching me how to cook all those years ago!! INGREDIENTS:ġ package meatless crumbles, or we used 3 thawed Beyond Meat Burgersġ batch Easy Vegan All Purpose Cheese Sauce, divided As a side note, I started finding Beyond Burgers at Costco and for half the price you find them at the grocery store, so be on the lookout if you are a Costco shopper! if you have ever had tater tot casserole in you per vegan days, and have been missing it, it’s finally time to rejoice. You can use any meatless crumbles you like, but we always just thaw some Beyond Burgers and crumble them up. We use our easy vegan all purpose cheese sauce to sub in for all the “cream of” soups and the cheesy top! It works like a dream. But I am a fully grown women and always go back for seconds. Obviously my kids love this dish! It has kids casserole written all over it. It took me a few tries to veganize this favorite comfort food, but once I did, it was game on.
It’s cripsy tater tots, ground meat, all the “cream of” soups, and piles and piles of cheese. One of my favorite easy dishes she always makes is tater tot casserole. That said, she taught me most of what I know about cooking, and is actually a really good cook (if you ask her she will claim the opposite, I think just to get her out of the task she doesn’t enjoy.) Since going vegan I have really missed some of the dishes she always made us. I would add 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning (omit the seasoned salt) and a can of rinsed black beans to the base mixture.My mom doesn’t love to cook. One option for a different flavor to this recipe would be to make this Tex-Mex style. I have a link below at the end of the recipe for my Amazon store. I use my favorite Spike seasoning which can be hard to find at some stores so you can do what I do and buy it on Amazon. This entire casserole would freeze well before and after it’s baked so if you want to make it in advance, you certainly could. I use a fork to mash it into crumbles as I’m cooking it. Make sure to defrost the vegan meat you’ll be using the night before in the fridge so it’s easier to cook. You could use cooked lentils as a meat substitute and I bet that would be equally as delicious. Last is adding the tots, baking then about 10 minutes before it’s done, you’ll add another layer of cheesy goodness to the top. I know some people don’t like the fatty faux meats so if using a drier brand you can add a little more vegan butter to make up for it. This is where the juiciness of the meat comes into play as it makes a sauce with the cheese. You’re basically going to sauté some veggies, then sauté the mock meat and finally add vegan cheese.

They’re darn cute but feel free to use standard sized tots! I decided to use mini tater tots for my casserole and only for the simple reason that they’re smaller and will make the casserole easier to serve. You can certainly use all burger meat and it will still be delicious. I also like using half vegan sausage and half burgers as it adds more flavor. If you don’t, your end result could wind up dry. First, you should use a fatty vegan burger. This is a simple recipe but there are few ingredients that make all the difference between hot or not tots. Now tots are perfectly fine to eat just on their own but we’ve been making a cheesy casserole out of them for years and once you’ve had them this way, you might just never go back to plain Jane tots! February 2 is national tater tot day! It’s also Groundhog Day so this will get you through the rest of the winter hopefully.
