Servings: 8 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 32 ounces tater tots frozen
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups yellow onion chopped (I used 1 large onion)
- 2 cups ham diced (I used 1 ham steak)
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 3 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried mustard powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 4 cups broccoli fresh, chopped
- 3 cups extra sharp Cheddar cheese shredded (about 12 ounces)
Instructions
- Bake 32 ounces tater tots on baking sheet according to package instructions.
- While tater tots are cooking in the oven, saute 2 cups yellow onion in 4 tablespoons unsalted butter in 8 quart pot over high heat. As soon as the first onions start to turn golden, add the diced 2 cups ham. Let the onion and ham cook in the butter for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the 4 tablespoons flour over the onion mixture and stir. Allow flour to cook for a couple of minutes, then add the 3 cups milk, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried mustard powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir with a wooden spoon, removing any bits that may have stuck to the bottom of the pan.
- Continue to cook and stir the milk gravy until it thickens, about 5 minutes. Add the 4 cups broccoli and 2 cups of the 3 cups extra sharp Cheddar cheese, reserving the remaining 1 cup. Transfer the tater tots to a 9x13 baking dish and pour the ham and broccoli mixture over the tots.
- Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 20-25 minutes until melted and bubbly. Serve hot. YUM!
