You know how some nights all of a sudden it's 5pm and the kids are hungry, you haven't had time to go to the grocery store yet this week, and you're not about to eat another fast food burger? One night like this, I raided the pantry and the freezer in the hopes that SOMETHING in there had to be edible, and this is how Tuna Tater Tot Casserole was born! It went over so well that now I make it by request.
Ingredients:
1 bag of frozen tater tots, about 16 oz.
1/4 c butter
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 c milk
10 oz canned tuna, drained (2 small cans)
1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese
got any vegetables? frozen peas, carrots, corn, green onions, spinach...
salt and pepper, to taste
parmesan cheese
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Put the tater tots in a casserole or baking dish, and bake them for about 20 minutes, stirring them up halfway through.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat, and saute the onions for a couple of minutes, then add the garlic and saute for another couple of minutes. Add the milk, bring to a boil, and remove from heat.
When the tater tots are done, pour the butter, milk, onions, and garlic into the baking dish (watch out, it's hot). Add the tuna, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and any cooked vegetables, and mix it all together, chopping up the tater tots. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top, and throw it all back in the oven for about 10 minutes at 400 degrees.
