• Add onion, and cook until softened (2-3 minutes), add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds - 1 minute.
• Add flour, and cook it for 30 seconds then add the milk, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk and cook on medium heat for 3 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.

CREAMY TATER TOT CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
• In a large mixing bowl combine tater tots, soup, onion, sour cream, cheese, garlic powder, seasoning salt and softened butter; mix well. Transfer to casserole dish. In a medium bowl combine cereal and melted butter; spread over casserole. Sprinkle the top with parmesan cheese (use more or less according to your taste) and paprika.
• Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until browned. (Note: It's a good idea to put a cookie sheet under the casserole dish, in case it bubbles over while cooking.)
