Oven Roasted Tater Tots with Apples and Sausage #OreIdaDinner

by Emily Buys 3 Comments



Oven Roasted Tater Tots with Apples and Sausage

 

When it comes to weeknight meals, I love simplicity. Between running around to soccer practice, gymnastics, scouts and other errands, I could use more time in the day. A meal that comes together in a jiffy, is just what I need. I decided to see what I could do with Ore-Ida tater tots, to create a full and appetizing, including fresh produce.

Because we are approaching Fall, I wanted to come up with a recipe that uses apples, and possibly apple cider. I racked my brain and decided that a tater tot recipe using a nice chicken sausage (preferably apple chicken sausage, which my Walmart didn’t carry), apple cider and onion, would be great. The recipe would need some color, so why not add some red bell peppers. Hence, the Oven Roasted Tater Tots with Apples and Sausage, was born. Everyone enjoyed the dish, and it was so easy to make!!

    Easy to make and it makes a lot! I will make again, but only use two apples and and some sage and salt, it was bland and really needs more flavor.
