Pioneer Woman Tater Tot Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Butter a 3-quart baking dish. Line up the Tater Tots in the dish.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and onion and cook, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, then sprinkle the mixture over the Tater Tots.
• Whisk the milk, half-and-half, seasoned salt, cayenne, eggs, bell peppers and half of both cheeses in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Pour over the casserole, then top with the rest of the cheese. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350˚. Bake the casserole, covered, until just starting to set around the edges, about 25 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until the cheese is browned and bubbly and the casserole is cooked through, another 20 to 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place a large skillet over a medium heat and add the butter. When the butter has melted, add the onion and saute until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the chicken, cream of celery soup, 1/2 can of water and the frozen mixed vegetables. Stir well and cook until just heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Arrange the tater tots in tightly packed rows to completely cover the top. Do not press the tots into the mixture; just let them sit on top. Bake until the tot topping is browned and the chicken mixture is bubbly, about 30 minutes, then serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat until hot. Add the carrots, celery and onions and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are golden, about 12 minutes. Stir in the flour, and then whisk in the broth and milk and bring to a boil, whisking. Boil until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the chicken. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish.
• Pulse the tots in a food processor with the thyme until medium ground. Scatter over the top of the casserole and bake until the filling is bubbling and the topping is golden and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling water until tender. Then process them using a ricer or food mill OR mash them with a fork for a more lumpy texture.
• Add the flour, egg, some seasoned salt and pepper and combine.
• Form into balls, and then slightly flatten into discs. Let them cool completely.
• Heat some canola oil in a cast-iron skillet and fry the cooled tots until golden. Drain on a paper towel.
• You can freeze the tots after frying. Remove from the freezer when you need them and reheat in a 400 degree F oven for 10 to 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Brown ground beef.

Stir cream of mushroom soup into the cooked ground beef; pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer tater tots evenly over the ground beef mixture; top with Cheddar cheese.
• Bake until tater tots are golden brown and hot, 30 to 45 minutes.
