Creamy Tater Tot Casserole

This tater tot casserole is the ultimate comfort food! Filled with creamy alfredo sauce, green beans, beefy crumbles, mushrooms, and cheese topped with crispy tots.

This recipe is perfect when you're in need of a comforting meal to warm your belly. You'll be shocked that this casserole is not only gluten-free but vegan! With so many alternative beef crumbles on the market you'll be able to make this casserole super meaty. We used Beyond Meat but you can use your favorite beef replacement. We also used Violife shredded Colby Jack cheese shreds but feel free to use your favorite shredded vegan cheese.

This casserole is not only delicious but it's simple to make as well! Takes only 40 minutes and contains about 6 servings. Perfect for meal prepping or feeding the whole family.

You'll need a 9" pie dish, if you don't have one you can use a square dish. I used a non-stick dish but you can also use glass. For this recipe you'll also need about 1 2/3 cup (about 400 ml) of our Alfredo sauce or you can use store bought.
