Flavorful Tater Tot® Casserole - cooking recipe

Ingredients

cooking spray
1 (16 ounce) package pork sausage (such as Owens(R) Original)
1 small onion, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (such as RO*TEL(R))
1 (12 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of celery soup
1 (32 ounce) package frozen bite-size potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots(R))
1 pinch ground black and red pepper blend (such as McCormick(R) Hot Shot(R)), or to taste

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is softened, 5 to 10 minutes.
Mix tomatoes with green chile peppers, broccoli, Mexican cheese blend, and cream of celery soup into sausage mixture; spread into the prepared baking dish. Arrange potato nuggets over sausage mixture; season with pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbling and potato nuggets are slightly brown, about 45 minutes.
