Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until softened. Add chopped garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Spread the bratwurst mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the bratwurst.

Step 6

Spread 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the soup mixture.

Step 7

Layer frozen tater tots over the cheese in a single layer, covering the surface completely.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
