When I joined Weight Watchers, I vowed to never give up the good stuff. You know, potatoes. And dessert. This delicious (and light!) Weight Watchers Tater Tot Casserole ensures that you get to eat the good stuff while staying on track with your Weight Watchers points. But here is the honest to goodness truth about how we handle the cooking situation in my marriage. I DON’T Cook. It’s not that I can’t cook, but if this is a domain my husband wants to take over and be responsible for- WHY WOULD I MESS WITH THAT? I guess if I had this burning desire to create the perfect quiche I might want to share the cooking responsibilities with him, but I have no desire to create any kind of food that requires more than peeling off a plastic top and popping it in the microwave for 50 seconds.
I never got a thrill out of kneading dough with my hands or flipping the perfectly shaped pancake. My husband, on the other hand, takes such pride in the meals he cooks, the recipes he concocts- that far be it from me to take that away from him- and to be honest- it is ONE LESS THING ON MY PLATE. Also I should add that recently my husband asked me to watch the beans he was cooking and unfortunately I didn’t notice they were burning until the smoke alarm went off- so yeah, there’s that. So this my husband will be whipping up this Weight Watchers Tater Tot Casserole (Only 3 SmartPoints! Freestyle) ( and I will be meticulously cleaning all his mess as he says- “WHEN I’M Creative I can’t be bothered to worry about errant veggie shavings and such”) keep reading for the recipe!

Pam says
January 18, 2018 at 12:46 amI love the idea of using riced cauliflower in this lightened up tater tot casserole. What a great way to reduce calories AND bulk up the nutrition.

AnnMarie John says
January 18, 2018 at 4:17 pmGuilt free but packed with flavor! That’s definitely how I like my healthy dishes! I think this one’s a must try and it’s something that the kids will enjoy too.
Cheryl says
January 31, 2018 at 2:31 pm20 tater tots for 9 servings? Each serving would get 2 plus another little crumb! This must be an error.
Elisabeth says
May 10, 2018 at 1:58 pmI just did 18 tator tots, three per serving. Still same points and for my ocd made more sense
Sue says
July 13, 2018 at 3:22 pmIf its 9 servings, wouldn’t that be 2 per serving using 18 tots?? 3 per serving would be 27 tots.
Jacque Blanchard says
February 3, 2018 at 10:24 pmWhere can you find the riced cauliflower?
Melissa Chapman says
February 4, 2018 at 2:37 pmAny freezer section– it is with the frozen vegetables I like Green Giant– at Trader Joe’s, Kroger, Shoprite
Angela says
February 6, 2018 at 1:22 amMade this tonight! I recommend salt, pepper and either Italian Seasoning or something similar for flavor. I also recommend doubling the recipe! It will be great as leftovers for lunch.
Tonia says
February 8, 2018 at 3:32 amHello! Where do you find the meatless crumbles?
Shirley says
February 9, 2018 at 3:45 pmWhat is meatless crumble, where do I find it.
Marie says
February 13, 2018 at 9:50 amMeatless crumbles is found with boca burgers and vegetarian sausages, etc…. but I’m thinking of using ground turkey. It is zero points and I think might be better.
Cathy says
March 4, 2018 at 11:01 pmI agree with Cheryl you would only get two tater tots each per serving to make it come out to the 3 points, but a pretty hearty meal. Looks good.
Seva says
March 17, 2018 at 2:20 pmThese recipes look so good and I would like to print them off so I can reference them later but when I go to print, the only option is to print all the pictures along with the instructions. How can I print without all the pics?

Momof1 says
March 29, 2018 at 5:19 pmI made this & it was really good. Only change was instead of regular tater tots I used veggie (broccoli) tots.
Tanya says
May 18, 2019 at 12:01 amI did the same! Love this recipe!
Sarah says
April 10, 2018 at 4:20 pmDo you cook the meatless crumbles and rice medley before baking it all together?
Julie says
April 26, 2018 at 5:36 pmI don’t know what meatless crumbles are!!! Pls inlighten!!!
Bonnie says
August 12, 2018 at 10:38 pmthey are a frozen vegetarian product that takes like meat. You can also use ground turkey if you want and does not change point value
Sue Anna says
May 30, 2018 at 5:51 pmI don’t do condensed soups. What could I sub for it? Hubby would love.
Aileen says
June 11, 2018 at 3:40 amI made this tonight. It was very good. Thank you!
Susan says
June 28, 2018 at 7:47 pmI love this recipe and it’s WW friendly too. Winner winner chicken dinner!
It’s easy to put together and healthy. Thank you so much for the post.
Sheila says
August 8, 2018 at 9:40 pmDo I need to cook the crumbles and cauliflower rice before adding to the recipe?
Bonnie says
August 12, 2018 at 10:33 pmThis can also be made with ground turkey which is 0 freestyle points, I cant buy meatless products because my husband has a severe soy protein allergy. This is a great recipe!
Jay Shay says
September 27, 2018 at 10:47 pm9 servings in a 9×9 pan? Those would be awfully small servings- Iwould say it’s maybe 6 servings and figure the points that way.
Donna Currie says
April 8, 2019 at 4:14 pmDo you use the condensed mushroom soup as it? no adding any liquid to it?
donna Currie says
April 8, 2019 at 4:25 pmPlease clarify about the soup and the yogurt / sour cream comment at the end. It doesn’t seem like enough liquid if you just use the condensed soup without adding water to it. And there is no sour cream in the recipe?
Tanya says
May 18, 2019 at 12:07 amThe soup does not need to have water added, it is enough without it.
I think the yogurt comment is suggesting that you could use the yogurt as a topping, rather than sour cream…neither are necessary if you don’t want to use them.
Sue Anna says
April 8, 2019 at 9:02 pmAwaiting answer for a substitution for soup.
