Tater Tot Casserole

I need to adapt this recipe to have less vegetable (about 4 cups).  Crumble up some cooked
tater tots to make up the difference.

1/2 pound ground beef or about  or about 2 cups (1 pound raw) cooked diced chicken or turkey
About 6 cups vegetables, any type (frozen, canned, etc)
1 1/2 cup chicken broth (from boiling chicken or saved from another time)
3/4 cup rice or other milk
2 tablespoons acceptable margarine
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Tater Tots to cover the top
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Brown ground beef in frying pan and season with salt (if desired).  Skip the previous step
if using cooked chicken or turkey.  Cook vegetables (if using frozen vegetables).  Drain
cooked frozen or canned vegetables. In a pan, melt margarine.  Add salt, garlic powder,
and 1/4 cup of the rice milk.  Mix.  Add the broth and 1/2 cup of milk.  Add vegetables
and meat.  Let it get hot.  Place in an oval baking pan. Top mixture with tater tots until
covered.  Bake at 350 degree F. for 30 to 35 minutes or until hot.  Serve.
