01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet over medium-high heat, crumble the sausage and cook it until it’s nicely browned, which should take about 5 minutes. Then add the chopped onion, mushrooms, and celery to the pan and cook everything together for another 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, sage, and rosemary, letting those flavors cook for a couple more minutes before turning off the heat.

Step 2
In a big bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, potato flakes, and eggs until smooth. Add the sausage mixture, Tater Tots®, and parsley, then give it all a good stir to combine. Pour everything into a 9x13-inch glass casserole dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 3
Pop the dish into the oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the stuffing is cooked through and the top starts to turn golden. For a crispy finish, switch your oven to the broiler setting on high and broil the casserole for 2 to 3 minutes, keeping a close eye so the Tater Tots® get perfectly crispy without burning. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

How to serve
Serve with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables to balance the richness. A side of sour cream or ketchup can add extra flavor and complement the crispy tots nicely.
