Ingredients
- 32 ounces frozen tater tots
- 12 ounces canned tuna
- 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 optional nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2
Spread the frozen tater tots evenly in a single layer over a large baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until slightly crisp (optional, but enhances their crunchiness). Leave the oven on.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned tuna (drained), cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, shredded cheddar cheese (reserve 1/2 cup for topping), frozen peas, chopped onion, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Spread the tuna mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish.
Step 5
Arrange the partially baked tater tots on top of the tuna mixture in even rows, covering the entire dish.
Step 6
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the tater tots.
Step 7
Bake the casserole in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, the tater tots are golden brown, and the casserole is heated through.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Optional: Garnish with additional parsley before serving for a pop of color.
