Pizza Tater Tot Casserole
One thing I know for sure is that people love Tater Tot Casseroles. I shared a Mexican Tater Tot Casserole several months ago and it’s become one of the most popular posts on my blog. This Pizza Tater Tot Casserole is just as good or maybe even a bit better, depending on who you talk to in my family.
I love easy recipes like this one that I can quickly throw together in a matter of minutes and I know that my family is going to enjoy. It’s comfort food which isn’t the healthiest, but it sure hits the spot. I try to make recipes that my family will eat so I can save myself making four different meals at one time. So annoying!
Pizza Tater Tot Casserole
It’s pretty straightforward to make. The bottom layer is a mix of all our favourite pizza toppings. We have ground beef, Italian sausage, bacon, green peppers, mushrooms and onions all mixed together in pizza sauce.
The next layer is, of course, tater tots. I used a full 800g bag of frozen tater tots. Add them in a single layer on top of your pizza toppings mixture.
In the last five minutes of baking, add on the third and final layer: cheese, pepperoni and Italian seasoning.
