Veggie Loaded Tater Tots

Veggie Loaded Tater Tots

This is a winning combination of an easy Bolognese-style sauce topped with tater tots and cheese. Adults and kids will love it even if they don’t realize there're hidden veggies in it. If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, you can use a shallow casserole dish or ovenproof pan. If you like to plan ahead, make the sauce and keep it in the fridge, and top with the tater tots just before cooking.
