[Guest nini]

1 pound ground meat (beef, turkey, buffalo) browned and seasoned with salt and pepper and garlic powder

1 can of corn drained

1 small jar of mushrooms or fresh mushrooms

1/2 stick of butter

1/4 cup Orgran's All Purpose gluten-free flour

1/4 cup diced onions

2 cups of milk

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 bag of gluten-free tater tots frozen

In a small casserole dish put the cooked ground meat in the bottom, pour the can of drained corn over the meat, layer with frozen tater tots, cover with home made cream of mushroom soup (saute onions and mushrooms in tablespoon of butter, add rest of butter, 2 cups milk, remove from heat, stir in 1/4 cup Orgran's gluten-free all purpose flour and salt and pepper to taste, add more milk if too thick)

bake for 30 minutes at 350, enjoy!

Mmmmmmmm, my mouth is watering.

Will have to try this dairy free. I know it would taste nearly as good, but....

[Guest nini]

I'm sure you could do it with rice milk...

[Sweetfudge]

wow this sounds so yummy! was it crispy? i love my tots crispy!

and i would try w/ soy milk if you can instead of rice milk, cuz i know it acts as regular milk in baking better...and rice dream isn't safe...just fyi

ah, just read you don't do soy...nevermind on that one then

[AndreaB]

I usually just blend up my own cashew or almond milk. It's the butter.....I'd probably use the spectrum shortening, otherwise coconut oil.

you could use whatever gluten-free dairy free soy free margarine or shortening you prefer, I just like butter.

Isn't Lundberg Farms Rice milk gluten-free? I know Rice dream isn't.

Anyway, some of the tots were crispy, you could probably cook it just a little longer for a more crispy tot, over all it had a really good flavor and texture... I was pleased with how it turned out. Hubby had two helpings and my daughter ate all hers (big accomplishment for her)

I used the organic buffalo meat with mine but the original recipe called for ground turkey.

What size bag of tater tots? My grocery carries a couple of different sizes.

[Guest nini]

I just used a regular sized bag, 1/2 of the bag basically, enough to cover the entire pan...

[Fiddle-Faddle]

Umm--which size is regular?

This looks delicious. What's a safe brand of tater tots? Or are most safe? I'm a recently diagnosed celiac and haven't looked into tots yet.

[Guest nini]

I don't know! I threw the bag away and hubby already took out the trash! I basically just used enough tots to cover the meat and corn completely, then drowned it in the cream of mushroom soup...

I used the Publix brand, they were listed on their 9 page list of Publix brand products that are gluten-free. I've also used Cascadian fams tots in the past... Just read the ingredients listing, the ones I use, use rice flour instead of wheat.

Do you think I could just do this with regular sliced red potatoes? It sounds sooo good and would solve my dilema about dinner tonight.

[Sweetfudge]

i'd give it a shot...sounds like it would work with lots of tweaking

[Fiddle-Faddle]

I bet it would work if you shred the potatoes, either with a food processor, or a hand-held grater!

I think that would work fine. I would slice the potatoes very thin.
