Tater Tot Casserole Dinner

Casseroles are a favorite to cook. Putting all of the ingredients in one dish seems easy enough. And there are so many to choose from. I am lucky to have cookbooks from my loved ones, my Mom, Grandmother and sister. When I am looking for something different, I break open the cookbooks. This tater tot casserole was a favorite growing up. You can change the ingredients if you like to suit your taste. I use hamburger meat, mixed vegetables and other seasoning for this one. And of course the tater tots on the top. They get nice and crispy in the oven. Dinner will be ready soon. It smells like my Mom's kitchen in here. Such nice memories.

I hope you enjoy. Potatoes are things I rarely have now.

@CarolDM Oh I could too, once upon a time. They don't have the same appeal anymore.

@CarolDM when I was eating less healthy we used to make taco meat, bake the state tots, cover them in taco meet and cheese. they were so good, but so bad for you

@DocAndersen I know it is unhealthy. There are days I barely eat. All in moderation.

@CarolDM Looks like your batch in the picture was sort of a play on Shepherd's pie.

@CarolDM I actually make a similar casserole but I use hash brown type of frozen potatoes, and I use golden mushroom soup mixed with the meat.
