1960's Tater Tot Casserole

I used my 1960's camera filter- do you like?

As a vegan, I generally eat pretty healthy. Mostly because a lot of foods that are un-healthy are not vegan. But this recipe is definitely not healthy. Although it is filled with veggies, everything else in it pretty much cancels that fact out.

Tater Tot Casserole:
Modified from Snarky Vegan, see her recipe HERE.

Ingredients:

• 1 bag tater tots;
• 1 bag frozen mixed veggies;
• 2 cups soy milk;
• 1 container soy "ground beef" crumbles;
• 1 onion, diced;
  
• 2 tablespoons of flour;
• 7 tablespoons Earth Balance margarine;
• 1 bag Diaya Cheddar Cheese;
• Salt & Pepper; to taste;
• Garlic Salt to; taste.

How to Make:

1. First, to make the sauce: create a roux with the flour and 3 tablespoons of margarine.
2. Once that is browned, remove from heat and slowly add soy milk.
3. Once the soy milk is all added- place back on medium heat and stir constantly until thickened.
4. In a large casserole dish pour in: frozen veggies, beef crumbles, onion cheddar cheese and spices.
5. Pour your white sauce over the top of the casserole.
6. Then add 4 tablespoons of margarine in each corner of the casserole.
7. Arrange your tots on top to cover the dish.
8. Cook at 375 for one hour.

By the time this beast emerges from the oven you will most likely burn the roof of your mouth off because you can no longer wait to eat it. We doused our casserole in Siracha and ketchup as well.
