Dinner Ideas

I  used to eat this casserole at a friend’s house growing up and I loved it! So now that I’m all grown up and have a family of my own, it’s something I wanted to make for my family. However, I wanted to clean it up a bit so I substituted the condensed soup and beef for healthier, leaner options. The kids love this and it’s super easy to put together.

Tatertot Casserole

I know that casseroles are a big thing in the midwest.  Although they are often called Hot Dish.  I didn’t know that until recently when I was preparing for a get together and needed a dish to share with friends from Minnesota.  These casseroles go back to budget minded farm wives who prepared a hot meal in one dish.

    This sounds great! My kids love Tater Tot casserole but I don’t make it very often because it’s so heavy and not terribly healthy.
    We will have to give this a try.
