Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 pound frozen Tater Tots (about 5 cups); 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon chili powder; 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder; Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper; 1 14-ounce package extra-firm tofu, drained; 2/3 cup ketchup; 1/3 cup chili sauce (such as Heinz); 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; 1 onion, chopped; 1 stalk celery, chopped; 1 carrot, chopped; 4 hamburger buns, split; 4 slices white cheddar cheese; Bread-and-butter pickles, for topping

Directions

Preheat the oven and bake the Tater Tots as the label directs. Toss with 1/2 teaspoon chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder; season with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, crumble the tofu on a paper towel-lined plate. Mix the ketchup and chili sauce in a bowl. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, carrot and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the tofu, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Add 3/4 cup of the ketchup sauce and 1/3 cup water; simmer until thickened, 2 minutes.
Place the bottom buns on a baking sheet. Top with the tofu mixture, the remaining ketchup sauce and the cheese. Bake until the cheese melts, 3 minutes. Add the pickles and top buns. Serve with the Tater Tots.
