broccoli and cheese tater tot stuffed portobello mushrooms
“Indulge in a gastronomic adventure with our tantalizing creation—Broccoli and Cheese Tater Tot Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms. A perfect blend of flavors that redefines the art of appetizers.”
I have a problem.
Wait.
Two problems to be exact.
The first: a little AMC TV series you might have heard of called Breaking Bad, is entering its final season. TEAR. Even though I am a little bummed that there is an end in sight for meth kingpins Walter and Jesse, word on the street is that these last few episodes are supposed to be some of the best writing in TV history. While my heart wants to believe full heartedly that everything will be summed up and no questions left unanswered, my mind knows better. Writers can be full of empty promises and faux ink-stained hands so we will just have to wait and see what happens. My guess? Walter gets 86’ed.
The second: tater tots. I can’t stop. I won’t stop. Don’t stop get-it-get-it. What? Ever since I made these sweet potato tater tots with sriracha aioli my mind has been brainstorming other ways to use tots. Okay, fo’ reals, what is it about a tot that makes us so giddy? Is it the pop it into your mouth action? Is it the perfectly cubed golden perfection? Don’t get me wrong, I love a good French fry, but dang, a glistening, fried tot is hard to resist.
If a french fry and a tater tot were running for el presidente, I think I would vote tot. Kind of like how I would vote for Pedro in the movie, Napoleon Dynamite. Not only does Pedro take his bike off sweet jumps and is an excellent milk judge, he’s also best friends with Napoleon. Which means he will keep your tots safe from mouth breathing bullies.
Anyways, if my Napoleon Dynamite talk hasn’t persuaded you to vote tot, maybe these broccoli and cheese tater tot stuffed portobello mushrooms will. I am a HUGE fan of broccoli and cheese sauce. Not only is it divine in macaroni and cheese, but it’s high-five town in potato soup. Mmmmm…I seriously can’t wait for fall!
This dish is great for those nights when you have to play, “What you got?” for dinner. You can really pile anything onto mushrooms, but I say, keep it cheesy and vote tot!

Ah what?!?! These are incredible, Lauren! Broccoli cheddar anything is my all time favorite, but the tater tots too?? Whoa baby, I want!
Mine too! Thanks, Tieghan!
What a brilliant snack!
Thank you, Jen! It’s one of my new favs!
I want tater tots so badly I could cry right now!! And you even added a vegetable!! <3
ME TOO!!! I’m thinking we need to come up with a tot breakfast? And go!
Gurl stop.. this is brilliant! Tater tots would win over fries any day..straight up .. Breaking Bad has got to be one of the best shows EVAH! and Walter is so getting 86’ed..
Right?! There is no way Walter can live, it just wouldn’t work. Until then, let’s eat these tots together!
Truth :: I’ve never seen Breaking Bad. I have no cable. I’m officially lame. BUT, it is streaming on Netflix now! So I guess I have five seasons to catch up on ASAP. And I need some tots to sustain me through this meth fueled TV marathon…wait, no that came out wrong…
NOOOOOOOO! You totally need to Netflix it, friend! You won’t be disappointed. And yes, these tots are totally approved for a meth TV marathon:)
Yes to absolutely everything about this post.
YES to Tots. YES to Pedro. YES to Break Bad ending with a bang. YES to melty cheese over the top of it all. Glorious, Lauren. Just glorious!
Thanks, Jeanne! I would totally share my cheesy tots with you. Can you bring the Shiner?
I {heart} tater tots big time!! If I lived closer it’s pretty likely that I’d show up on your doorstep for dinner and a Breaking Bad marathon!
That would be AWESOME!! See you in 5? 🙂
I am so hungry now! ooo my, oh my! I am in love with everything in these stuffed mushrooms
Thank you, Angie!
Soooooo since I don’t eat mushrooms, it’s totally acceptable that I want to stuff this broccoli and tater tots into a tater right?? I’m all about the carb loving overload!!
You bet!! It would be one carbolious meal! 🙂
Holy cow this is my kind of evil genius dish!
Thanks, Cathy! You can’t go wrong with cheese and tots!
Cheese and tater tots ahhhh this is bringing back lunch time memories from high school lol
Ha! How did we ever survive high school?!
I’m already in Breaking Bad denial… *cries*
These look amazing!
Me too! Sigh….what will they think of next! Until then, let’s just eat some tots!
yum! I’m loving the cheesey-tatertot goodness!
Thanks, Katie!
Paul loves Breaking Bad but I never started watching it. I might need to start doing that.
And don’t stop the tots. I gotta have ’em!
Gurrrrrl, you need to watch it! When Paul is out of town you totally should Netfilix. It’s flipping awesome. I hope you are well! Miss your face!
I am a HUGE Breaking Bad fan too. I totally think Walter will die in the final season. I just don’t know how. I’m thinking Jesse will redeem himself and finally kill Mr. White. I don’t know. What I do know is that BB is THE BEST tv show ever.
And these tater tots. Yup. Same story. Best tater tots EVER! I’m sure I could make dinner out of this.
Yessss! I’m so glad you watch the show. It’s freaking awesome! And totally agree with you on Jesse killing Walter. Spot on my friend:)
You had me at Tater Tots
Ha! Thanks, Julianne! I hope all is well with you:)
I have never seen breaking bad but everyone is talking about it. Now I DO LOVE me some taters!!!
Meagan, you totally need to Netflix the show! It’s amazeballs!!
This is the best looking tater tot casserole, ever! Loving it! I’d vote tot too!
I agree – tater tots are hard to resist! Especially like this – this looks like pure deliciousness!!
What is it about broccoli and cheddar cheese that just works so seamlessly? You’re making me crave broccoli/cheddar combos and this tater tot extravaganza is making my taste buds go crazy. Want it for breakfast, NOW!
Oh my gawd, girl, I’m totally freaking out over breaking bad, too! Annnnnnd, these tot stuffed ‘shrooms?! Gah! Gimme em’!
Tater tots are crazy addictive. I never share. Also? I seriously love tots, love broccoli, and triple love mushrooms, but having all of these at once never occurred to me. Thank you for welcoming me into this brave new world!
Got to have some of this cheesy comfort food!!
Stuffing tater tots into mushrooms is not a problem. Not a problem at all!
L-O-V-E the idea of stuffing tater tots into a mushroom. Awesome idea! Plus, it opens you up to making all sorts of Napoleon Dynamite jokes at dinner. Double win! 😉 These look great!
