Nothing says 'Comfort Food' like this 4 Ingredient Tater Tot Casserole.
I wish that my mother had known this was a tater tot possibility when I was growing up.
4 Ingredient Tater Tot Casserole
Obviously, I have been visiting with a family member living in Minnesota.
They say that Minnesota is the tater tot capital of the world. I don't know if that is 100% true but, for the purposes of this recipe, I will roll with it giving full credit to the Land of 10000 Lakes.
When I was a kid, tater tots were somewhat of a standard.
It was the one food that you could count on eating for lunch at school and then coming home to eat them again for dinner. I truly believe that my elementary school regarded tater tots as a vegetable. While the food group listing of tater tots may be negotiable, we can pretty much all agree that it is a comfort food or, something that comforts us as a fond memory from our childhood.
What is it about casseroles that people like so much?
In this case the popularity probably has a lot to do with the main ingredient- tater tots.
This recipe does remind me of a kind of nachos for tater tots. What it really also is can be the perfect thing to bring to a tailgate, party, or potluck because of the popularity of the ingredients. Well, that and the fact that it is so easy to make. Yay for easy right?
