Cauliflower Tater Tot Casserole: Mexican Style {Low Carb, High Protein}

This tater tot casserole is made from cauliflower tots and covered with cheese and salsa! It’s low carb, healthy and great for game day or for kids!

GUESS WHAT.

WE ARE FINALLY MOVED INTO OUR APARTMENT AND I AM NOT SURROUNDED BY BOXES.

Sorry to yell at you. I’m just kind of excited. And by kind of I mean that I have excitement bursting out of my eye ballz.

But in a COOL FUN kind of way, not a that-sounds-really-painful-and-you-should-probably-get-that-checked-out kind of way. You understand.

I PROMISE I will take some pictures BUT, there are still a few boxes here and there. When you see the pictures I want you to think I am clean human and not see the real Taylor: A hoarder.

I only hoard squash though. For realz. I bought 3 Kabocha squash yesterday because they were on sale.

But that really has nothing to do with anything other than me being obsessed with kabocha squash. Have you tried it though? Oh my golly gosh, I could it forever and always.

Getting side tracked. There is no squash in these tater tot casserole. I promise I wouldn’t lie to you and call them “cauliflower” tots and then be like SURPRISE-no-cauli-here-they’re-all-squash.

Because that would be mean and then you might actually throw a spaghetti squash casserole at me. Aaaandd, that would be messy.

Yuck.

Anyway, the sequel.

I lovelovelove our new apartment. BUT, now Mr. FFF can watch FOOTBALL. THE AGONY.

Remember I told you how I made him buffalo chicken hash and buffalo chicken egg muffins while he watched my pretend football game, and I was really happy about not having to actually watch a WHOLE game with him?

Yeah. That’s done. It was wonder-ific while it lasted.

Now I don’t have a husband anymore. So be prepared to be nattered at even more than usual, sorry.

But, not really sorry at all because I <3 you.

Anyway, the threequel. We’re getting out of control.

I made this cauliflower tater tot casserole WAY BACK IN THE DAY when kids walked uphill both ways to school, with NO shoes. And, by that I mean, I made it back in Florida. A few weeks ago.

But now I am going to make it every day forever so I can eat it ALL myself. I feel this will be the only way I can get through football season.

I know cauliflower tater-tots are old newz, but this was my first time making them, and now I  like them BETTER than cauliflower rice! In fact, I want them in my oatmeal recipe for breakfast.

I’m kidding. But I like them. Lots.

Especially when they are covered with salsa, cheese….and more cheese. <— That’ a good sentence.

Contrary to what he above sentence sounds like, this baby is protein packed (HELLO chicken and cottage cheese!)  AND low carb. WHAT THE WHAT.

It’s truf. And it tastes YUM.

I don’t know about you, but I’ll happily live in cauliflower tater tot casserole land until all the game days are done.
