I can’t believe I am sharing this recipe!?!

My family loves Tater Tot Casserole. After my entire school years eating it at least once a week for school lunch, I do not care for it. The school would serve it with burnt on the outside but frozen on the inside tater tots.

So if this recipe evokes fond memories, you may want to make it for your loved ones soon. Otherwise, please drop me a note to help my stats on those that truly don’t care for the casserole.

Thanks for the support…
