Ingredients
TATER TOTS - We like to use the 365 Everyday Value Tater Puffs brand. At Trader Joe's, look for 'Trader Potato Tots'; they're also very good.
TURKEY MEATBALLS - Use frozen meatballs like these. Or quickly make your own with this amazing, gluten-free Turkey Meatball Recipe.
ALFREDO SAUCE - Use this easy, classic, homemade Alfredo sauce recipe. Or if you're pressed for time, use this store-bought Alfredo Sauce.
CHEESE - For this dish, use a sharp Cheddar cheese like this one and combine it with whole milk Mozzarella cheese.
Adding Mozzarella to the casserole dishes adds an extra layer of flavor. And it's also a cheese that melts beautifully, resulting in a great-looking casserole dish.
How To Make Tater Tot Turkey Meatball Casserole
- Preheat the oven to 375° Fahrenheit.
- Grease a large casserole dish and arrange turkey meatballs and tater tots. Pour your favorite Alfredo cheese sauce over the tater tots and meatballs.
- Top with shredded Cheddar and Mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 25 minutes until the cheese turns golden brown.
Recipe Success Tips
TIME-SAVING TIPS - Using store-bought turkey meatballs and store-bought Alfredo sauce will cut down on prep time.
CHEESE - Shred the cheese yourself! You'll save money and get better flavor! A package of store-bought shredded cheese usually contains fillers. For better flavor and texture, buy your cheese in a block and grate it yourself.
Leftovers
You can easily keep the casserole in the fridge for 3-4 days. I like this casserole dish because it comes with a lid which makes it a breeze to store in the fridge. To reheat the casserole, pop it in the microwave for a couple of minutes.
