Arrange the tater tots in a single, even layer rather than piling them up — overlapping tots steam instead of crisping.
Instructions:
- Preheat: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Combine the Filling: In a baking dish, combine the vegan meat crumbles, mixed vegetables, sauteed onion, cream of mushroom soup, salt, and pepper.
- Top with Cheese: Spread the mixture evenly and top with half the vegan cheese.
- Add the Tots: Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the top.
- Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the tots are golden and crisp.
- Finish with Cheese: Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bake for another 5 minutes, until melted.
Notes: Read through the full recipe before starting so you have all ingredients prepped and ready to go.
Tips: Taste as you go and adjust seasoning to your preference before serving.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Swaps: Feel free to swap in seasonal vegetables or pantry staples you have on hand, adjusting cook time as needed.
Every ingredient here earns its place, but a few really shape the dish. The vegan meat crumbles or cooked lentils adds hearty plant protein and body to the dish. The vegan cream of mushroom soup adds a savory, meaty depth. The onion adds sweetness and depth as it cooks down. The salt and pepper adds a subtle heat that rounds out the seasoning.
