Ingredients
Bolded items available at Dewig Meats
- 1.5 pounds Dewig Meats Pan Sausage
- 15 pieces Dewig Meats Bacon chopped into dime-size pieces
- 1 Tablespoon Ed's Seasoning
- 1 Tablespoon Onion Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Parsley
- 4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 2 tsp. black pepper
- 2 tsp. salt
- 1-24 ounce package tater tots, thawed
- 2-10.75 ounce cans Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup
- 16 ounces sour cream
Instructions
Two nights before cooking:
- Place frozen tater tots in the refrigerator to thaw.
The night before cooking:
- In a large skillet, fry sausage, bacon, and Ed's Seasoning.
- Drain, and set meat mixture aside to cool.
- When meat mixture is cool enough to handle, place in a large bowl with tater tots, cheddar cheese soup, sour cream, salt, pepper, onion powder, and 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese.
- Mix well.
- Spread mixture in a lightly sprayed 9" x 13" pan. (We prefer Vegalene Buttery Delite, which can be found at Dewig Meats.)
- Cover with foil, and refrigerate until ready to cook.
The day of cooking:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bake casserole, covered, for 45 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake for 30 more minutes, until hot and bubbly.
- Remove casserole from oven and sprinkle 2 cups of shredded Cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
- Sprinkle parsley on top for color.
- Cook casserole, uncovered, for 10 more minutes, until cheese is melted.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- We prefer Dewig Meats Pan Sausage in this recipe, but you can substitute Dewig Meats Ground Beef if you like.
- Any variety of shredded cheese will work, but we prefer Mild or Sharp Cheddar cheese.
