Peas or a frozen mixed vegetable medley are good, too.įor the “cream of” soup in the filling, I’m partial to Alisa’s Classic Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup or Healthy Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup from Go Dairy Free: The Ultimate Guide and Cookbook. I usually add frozen or canned green beans. In the casserole photographed here I added frozen corn because that’s what I had on hand. Either vegan substitute works well.Īny vegetable you like can be used for the meat version. Cook on high, breaking it up into pieces as you go until the meat is completely cooked. Season with the salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder. Heat a large skillet on high and add your ground beef or turkey. The flavor reminded me of a vegetable shepherd’s pie. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and lightly spray a 9×13 pan with nonstick spray.
I discovered that simply replacing the ground meat with a variety of vegetables works well, too. Initially, I thought a vegan ground meat substitute made the most sense as a meat substitute. After taste testing, I decided a dairy-free cheese layer didn’t really add anything to the casserole (except additional cost!), so I eliminated it. Tater tot casseroles often have a cheese layer between the meat and tater tots.

After a few attempts, I’m happy to say I have an easy Dairy-Free Tater Tot Casserole recipe to share.ĭairy-Free Tater Tot Casserole Made Easy with Simple Swaps One classic casserole I’d never tried making dairy-free was Tater Tot Casserole (or Tater Tot Hotdish, depending on where you are from). If a recipe is easy enough for my kids to make for dinner, that’s even better. Top with chopped chives or scallions and serve.I’m always on the lookout for quick weeknight meals, especially during the busy spring season. Remove from the oven and crumble the cooked bacon over top.
Bake 30-35 minutes until the tater tots are golden. Place the tater tots on top in a single layer, arranging them in concentric circles (or just toss them on and push them very close together.) Sprinkle the top with parmesan cheese and the additional 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. Fold in the spinach to wilt slightly, then the corn. All you need to make this deliciousness are some frozen tater tots, canned soup (or homemade if you’re feeling fancy), cheese, and sour cream. Drain off excess fat or liquid, if you like. Remove skillet from the heat. Stir in the soup, milk, salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper and mix until smooth. This easy cheesy tater tot casserole with sour cream and no meat is the perfect meal for those looking for a savory, hearty dish without all the fuss. Cook the meat until no pink pieces remain, 6-8 minutes. Add the ground beef and break into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Place back in the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with shredded cheeses, and bacon. Removed tots from oven, but keep oven on. Meanwhile, mix together ranch dressing and sour cream. Add the onion to the skillet and cook until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Cook tater tots according to directions on package. Set all of the bacon aside for topping later. Remove to a paper towel lined plate and leave the grease in the skillet. Add the bacon and cook until golden brown and extra crispy, 6-8 minutes. Remove the tater tots from the freezer to let them thaw slightly while you prepare the filling.
