1 Serving

⅓ cup of your choice of salsa, BBQ sauce, gravy, marinara sauce, alfredo sauce, pesto, etc.
7 tater tots (fresh or frozen)
3 mini chicken or pork breakfast sausage links (fresh or frozen)
½ cup of your choice of cheese (cut into cubes)
1½ tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

1 Ready. Chef. Go!® Microwave and Oven Steam Cooking Bag

BUY THIS RECIPE'S BAG

Cut the vegetables into small, bite-sized pieces. In a mixing bowl, mix the vegetables in with your sauce/salsa and add salt and pepper. Load the mixed vegetables and sauce into a Ready. Chef. Go!® bag. Although this step is optional, if you like the sausages and tots a bit crispier in texture, you can use a pan or skillet to sauté them in olive oil until they are slightly browned. Place the tater tots and sausages on top of the veggies in the Ready. Chef. Go!® bag. Add in the cheese cubes to the bag and seal it.

Conventional Oven: Preheat the oven to 400° F. Place the bag on a baking sheet and cook for 12 to 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted nicely.

Microwave: Place the bags on a microwave-safe dish and cook on high for 2½ to 3 minutes or until the cheese has fully melted.

Let the bag cool for a minute and then cut it open and plate the meal to serve. Serve with fresh herbs for garnish.
