Looking for a quick weekday dinner that you can throw together in 30 minutes? Then my “Low Carb Broccoli Tot Sloppy Joe Casserole is for you! It’s a delicious throwback and reminds me of something I would eat when I was a kid. Of course this version is healthier then what I ate as a kid, but equally as satisfying!
To make this recipe low carb I changed two things 1) substituted broccoli tots for tater tots and 2) substituted tomato sauce for ketchup.
If broccoli is not your thing you could also use cauliflower tots or zucchini tots. There are recipes for these all over the internet. Maybe I will make some homemade ones for the blog? Let me know if you would like to see that recipe!
I know that there will be some conversation around using the Green Giant Broccoli Tots for this recipe. In the big scheme of things I think you would be ok using this frozen option….especially if you are in a hurry. But, I would go with whatever you are comfortable with. I have made this recipe with both homemade and store-bought tots and it hasn’t affected my weight loss.
