If you’re looking for an easy weeknight dinner, turn to your cast iron skillet for this 30-minute meal. This Broccoli Tater Tot Skillet Casserole uses turkey sausage, cheesy broccoli, tater tots, and tomatoes for a one-pan meal that has it all.
As a mom, I am always trying to sneak veggies into all of my toddler’s favorite foods. One of them is potato puffs, or tater tots. He just loves them. Eats them with ketchup or ranch all the time, it’s his number one request at meal time. I thought I would create a dish with some veggies and protein to give him some added nutrients into a cast iron skillet recipe.

Notes
Home Chef Tip: If your child doesn't like whole broccoli, cut it into tiny pieces to use in the casserole.
Simple Substitutions:
- Not only is this a great brunch or easy dinner idea, this would be great to meal prep as well. You can replace the tater tots with potatoes for a lighter version.
- Instead of broccoli, other veggies like zucchini would be a great alternative.
- If your toddler doesn’t like whole broccoli, dice it up really small.
- Reduced fat cheddar cheese would work for a lighter version.
- If you used this for meal prep and needed portion control, use muffin tins for individual portions.
