Notes

  • Gluten Free: this recipe is gluten free. Always double-check the label on the tater tots and sausage to make sure they're gluten free.
  • Vegetarian: to make this recipe vegetarian, saute 2 cups of vegetables with the onions and omit the sausage. I recommend diced bell peppers, sliced mushrooms and/or spinach. You can also substitute soy chorizo for the sausage and cook the same as you would the sausage.
  • Make Ahead: this casserole can be made up to 12 hours in advance, covered and stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
