Tater Tot Casserole Recipe!

Yeah yeah yeah....whole foods, fruits and veggies I know. HA HA! But this one is a quick meal right before we head out to a softball game. Plus my meat and potatoes husband loves it and my kids eat it up. I can't say that for all my meals. : )

Bag of frozen tater tots (double check to make sure gluten-free)

1 pound lean ground beef

1/2 chopped onion (I always buy frozen chopped onion because it's easier and no waste!)

1 can Progresso Creamy Mushroom soup

salt and pepper or seasoning salt

2 cups shredded cheese

crushed potato chips(recipe called for sour cream and onion but I only had Lay's Stax on hand)

Preheat oven to 400. Layer all the tater tots in the bottom of a large casserole dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper or seasoning salt. Cook meat and onion and drain. Add whole can of Progresso Cream of Mushroom soup. Add cheese a little bit at a time until all mixed in. Pour this over the tater tots. Crumble up the potato chips and put on top. Cook 30-45 minutes or until the chips are lightly browned. Check to make sure the tots are done and serve! Mine was done in 30 min but I used the tater rounds instead of the larger tots. It might take the reg. tots longer. Enjoy!

I have been making tater-tot casserole for many many years. Before I even got sick. Now I do a gluten free version but I use cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup, but no cheese or chips. Kids loved it before and love the new gluten free version also.

What brand of cream of mushroom soup and cream of chicken do you use now? I never can find any that's gluten-free. Why does Campbell's have to put in wheat? Uggg.

I can not have dairy so I had to come up with another version. And we usually buy Spud Puppies because they are organic. I do mix an onion in with the ground beef and always some canned green beans because my daughter loves those. Sometimes I would put corn in there too. And often some cooked chopped celery. Instead of using a cream soup, I used either come ketchup or tomato sauce but that didn't go over so well. Then I tried beef gravy. Yum!

Mmmm, I love tater tot casserole!

We don't use canned soup any more, we make a quick cream sauce with chicken broth and rice flour.

We also use chicken instead of ground beef, lots of green onions, some canned green chiles and pepper jack cheese.

Our recipe takes cream cheese and some thyme, so it's a little different then this one, but you sure can't go wrong with tater tots (and I say this even though we are a "whole food" kind of family). B)

      There is no scientific evidence to suggest that hydrated silica or its relative, silicon dioxide, triggers a celiac-specific immune response or causes intestinal damage in individuals with the condition. The concern you likely encountered online is a common misconception. Here’s the key distinction: the protein in gluten (gliadin) is what causes the autoimmune reaction in celiac disease. Hydrated silica and silicon dioxide are minerals, chemically inert compounds of silicon and oxygen, and are completely unrelated to gluten proteins. They are widely used as abrasives in toothpaste and anti-caking agents in food powders because they are stable and non-reactive. While any individual can have a unique sensitivity to any substance, there is no mechanism by which these silica compounds would mimic gluten or exacerbate celiac disease. Your diligence in using a certified gluten-free toothpaste is the correct and most important step, as it eliminates the risk of cross-contamination with wheat-derived ingredients like starch. Based on current scientific understanding, the hydrated silica in your toothpaste is not an issue for your celiac management.

      There is no single "best" probiotic brand universally recommended for celiac disease. The goal of a probiotic in this context is to help support the gut microbiome, which can be disrupted by the damage caused by gluten exposure. The most important factor is not the brand name, but ensuring the product is certified gluten-free, as some probiotics use wheat-derived starches or are produced in facilities that handle gluten, posing a cross-contamination risk. Furthermore, the specific strains of bacteria can matter; some research suggests strains like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium may be beneficial, but individual responses vary greatly. Because the supplement industry is not tightly regulated, choosing a reputable brand that undergoes third-party testing for purity and potency is key.

      What you are describing, while terrifying and severe, is an experience that others in the celiac community have reported during a powerful reaction. The systemic inflammation triggered by gluten exposure in someone with celiac disease can absolutely extend far beyond the digestive tract, creating a cascade of symptoms that feel like your entire body is in revolt. The severe pain, neuropathy, muscle and jaw tension, and intense anxiety and confusion are all potential manifestations of this body-wide inflammatory and autoimmune response. It's a well-documented phenomenon that a celiac attack can provoke a significant neurological and psychological component, including "brain fog," disorientation, and panic-level anxiety. While your first step should always be to meticulously re-check all foods, medications, and even cross-contamination sources, it's also possible that a previously safe product has changed its formula or that you encountered a hidden source.

      The substance you're likely thinking of is "mannitol," which is a sugar alcohol, and it is indeed used as a sweetener in some "sugar-free" products. However, for an MRI, the drink is almost certainly "Mannite," which is a brand name for a laxative preparation used to cleanse the bowel before the scan. Its primary purpose is not to sweeten but to create a clear image by distending the bowel and stimulating a bowel movement. While the names sound similar, the function and formulation are very different from a small-quantity sweetener. That said, your concern is valid and should be addressed with your healthcare team. The most important step you can take is to call the MRI department or your referring doctor directly. Explain your specific reaction to sweeteners in detail—mentioning the throat and ear sensations is crucial as it could indicate a more significant sensitivity. They can confirm the exact drink they use, check its full ingredient list for you, and determine if an alternative prep is available or if pre-medication is recommended to ensure your safety and comfort during the procedure.
