Next, follow the steps to finalize your dish and finally be able to enjoy it!
  1. In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, melt Earth Balance. Add flour and blend with a whisk. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until light brown. Reduce heat to low and slowly add the milk and whisk continuously while adding it. Return heat to medium and cook until sauce is thickened, another 3 minutes or so. Add seasonings of your choice. Salt, pepper and seasoning blends. Spray a 9 by 13 baking dish with olive oil spray. Place the frozen vegetables and shredded cheese in the casserole dish. Add the sauce and mix well. Dot the top with the 4 teaspoons of Earth Balance. Cover the top with rows of tater tots, placed touching one another, side by side. Bake for 45 minutes at 375 degrees, or until the tater tots are crispy and the vegetable and sauce mixture is bubbling. Do not overcook or the sauce will become too thick.
