Description

This layered Tater Tot casserole proves that you can create a hearty, filling side dish that's completely vegetarian.

Ingredients

cooking spray
2 vegetarian mushroom burger patties
1 (15 ounce) can vegetarian chili
1 (32 ounce) package frozen bite-size potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots®)
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of asparagus soup
1/2 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1/2 large onion, chopped
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Spray a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Cook mushroom patties in the pan until halfway cooked through, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool, about 5 minutes. Chop finely on a cutting board. Line the bottom of a rectangular or square 2 1/2-quart baking dish with patty pieces. Pour chili on top and spread evenly. Layer potato nuggets over chili.
3 Mix mushroom soup, asparagus soup, evaporated milk, onion, and pepper together in a large bowl. Pour mixture over potato nuggets evenly.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and heated through, 45 minutes to 1 hour, removing 15 minutes before baking completes to sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.
