Tater Tot Casserole

How we usually make it

1.25 lbs of ground turkey
2 cans of french style green beans
2 cans of cream of celery soup
1 bag of tater crowns (enough to cover top in a single layer)

Brown the ground turkey; remove from heat and drain. Then mix in the green beans and the cream of celery soup (straight from can DON'T follow directions on can). Place the mixture in a 9x13 pan and layer tater crowns on top. Follow directions on tater crown bag for oven temperature and add 5-10 minutes onto the cooking time or cook to tater crowns are to your desired brownness.

So a pretty simple recipe. All I am doing to change this recipe into a lactose free one is by substituting the cream of celery soup for creamed corn. I was looking at the can of creamed corn and noticed that there is no milk in the ingredient list. Who knew. I know when I think cream or creamed I think milk when it comes to food. I was excited and it got me thinking, I wonder how tater tot casserole would taste with creamed corn instead of the cream of celery soup.

It turned out wonderfully. I'm looking forward to when we make this recipe again.

So to recap here is the updated recipe

1.25 lbs of ground turkey
2 cans of french style green beans
2 cans of creamed corn
1 bag of tater crowns (enough to cover top in a single layer)

Brown the ground turkey; remove from heat and drain. Then mix in the green beans and the creamed corn. Place the mixture in a 9x13 pan and layer tater crowns on top. Follow directions on tater crown bag for oven temperature and add 5-10 minutes onto the cooking time or cook to tater crowns are to your desired brownness.
