Tater-Tot Casserole, (So good your husband might pimp you out to his friends!)

I am posting this recipe because my husband has requested that I make it at least one night a week for the past 2 years!
I am afraid his love of this dish if getting out of control!

He now, is asking me to make it for the guys at work!

  3. I make a similar thing with a Mexican theme. Some taco seasoning and tabasco mixed with sour cream on top after the cheese is bubbly.

  4. Being raised in Northern Minnesota this a must have for my husband and served at many potlucks, The one thing added up here is a bag of frozen veggies and for special occasions some french fried onions. :)

  5. I wonder if you can use fresh whole potatoes, grated or chopped somehow, and goat cheese... that would cut my costs considerably once I get a dairy goat. Potatoes are easy to grow in a garden. Then you only have to purchase half the ingredients... ... I sense some experimenting in my future! How fun!!

  6. I am planning to make this for the first time this weekend and take it to a friend's lake house. I was going to pre-make it on Friday night and freeze it until we eat it Sunday morning - can you let me know how long I should plan to bake it if I am taking it from freezer to oven? Or should I move it to the fridge on Saturday night if baking Sunday morning?
