Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 package frozen tater tots
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large pot, boil the diced sweet potatoes in salted water until they are tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain the sweet potatoes and set them aside.
- In a separate pot, heat the vegetable broth over medium heat. Add the garlic powder and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 2-3 minutes.
- In a large skillet, combine the heated vegetable broth mixture and the can of cream of mushroom soup. Stir until the soup is well combined and heated through.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sweet potatoes, the soup mixture, and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread half of the package of frozen tater tots in the bottom of the dish. Top the tater tots with the sweet potato mixture, spreading it evenly.
- Top the sweet potato mixture with the remaining tater tots and the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
- Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can peel and dice the sweet potatoes a day in advance. Store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator until you’re ready to cook.
- Customize Your Cheese: While shredded cheese is delicious, feel free to experiment with different types like cheddar, Monterey Jack, or even pepper jack for a spicy kick!
- Make It Vegan: Substitute the cream of mushroom soup with a vegan alternative and use plant-based cheese for a delicious vegan version of this casserole.
- Add Veggies: Boost the nutrition of your dish by adding in some sautéed spinach, kale, or even corn for extra flavor and texture.
- Crispier Tater Tots: For an extra crispy topping, bake the tater tots for a few minutes before adding them to the casserole. This will give you that perfect crunch!
- Let It Rest: Allow the casserole to cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving. This helps the layers set and makes it easier to serve.
- Serve with a Side: Pair your casserole with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables to balance the richness of the dish.With these tips, you’ll be well on your way to creating a delightful Sweet Potato Tater Tot Casserole Hotdish that everyone will love!
