Vegan Tater Tot Casserole

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.

Step 2

Start by sautéing your diced onion and minced garlic with olive oil and a pinch of salt in the bottom of a 12 inch cast iron skillet over low/medium heat until onions are clear (or just sauté in a regular frying pan and transfer to an oven safe dish of comparable size if you don't have the cast iron skillet!).

Step 3

Add cashews, cornstarch or flour, Braggs, onion and garlic powder, rubbed sage, and water to your blender and blend until completely smooth.

Step 4

Distribute 3 cups of frozen mixed veggies over the sautéed onions and garlic, followed by chopped pieces of vegan chicken substitute (I love the Gardein strips, but this is totally optional).

Step 5

Pour blended gravy over veggies mixture and top with a tater tot arrangement of your choice!  Sprinkle the top with garlic salt for added yumminess!

Step 6

Bake at 425 for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly!
