I am so excited about the giveaway I almost forgot about the cooking! Well people, I just created a from scratch, Cream of Mushroom and Sausage Tater Tot Casserole, and yes...it's spiced just right, thanks to Slap Ya Mama!
And no...in case you're wondering, you don't have to make the sauce from scratch! Use 1 can of Cream of Mushroom soup and equal amounts of heavy cream...adding a little Slap Ya Mama to the canned soup want hurt it at all!
I pureed my cream of mushroom sauce because as I've told you in the past, Big Goo doesn't like to bite into big vegetables...and if you want to hide the veggies from your children, this is the way to go...and yes...that's my brand new Vitamix I told you about yesterday...and I am loving it!
After I pureed the sauce, I mixed in lots of cheese, then I added the cooked chicken sausage to the cheese sauce. Andouille sausage would really kick this dish completely up!
And don't be scared of Slap Ya Mama, it's the spice with the bite!
After about 30 minutes of baking time, the casserole is extra cheesy and spiced just right thanks to Slap Ya Mama!
What YA waiting for people, get to cooking and don't forget the spice! Oh...and this casserole is so good...I just might Slap Ya Mama!
