Making your tater tot casserole tonight because, tater tots, and cheese. Also I love that I don’t have to brown the ground beef first. Less work cooking and cleaning. IDK if your Uncle John likes tots as much as I do but fortunately even if he doesn’t he’ll eat it. Love ya!

That’s too funny! I like the lack of browning too. Jordan doesn’t love meat & potatoes together so I always make it when he is traveling. The kids & I love it (plus I can make it the night beforehand). -Brittany
