Ingredients
-
1 ½ pounds broccoli, cut into 1-inch florets
-
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
-
1 ½ pounds 95%-lean ground beef
-
1 large onion, chopped
-
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 ¼ teaspoons salt, divided
-
4 cups low-fat milk
-
⅓ cup cornstarch
-
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
-
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
-
4 cups frozen tater tots or veggie tots
-
½ teaspoon ground pepper
-
Canola or olive oil cooking spray
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
-
Toss broccoli with 1 tablespoon oil on a baking sheet. Roast, stirring once halfway through, until just soft and browned in spots, about 15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add beef and onion and cook, breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon, until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire, garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
-
Whisk milk and cornstarch in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking often, until bubbling and thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in shredded Cheddar cheese, 3/4 teaspoon salt and turmeric until the cheese is melted.
-
Spread the beef mixture in a 9-by-13-inch (or similar 3-quart) baking dish. Top with the broccoli and pour the cheese sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle with veggie (or tater) tots, pepper and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Coat the tots with cooking spray.
-
Bake the casserole until it is bubbling and the tots are beginning to brown, about 40 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Tips
To make ahead: Prepare through Step 5; refrigerate for up to 1 day or freeze for up to 1 month (thaw in the refrigerator for 2 days before baking). Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
