Well, for starters, I’ve titled this recipe “Lightened Up” for a reason. But my parents, being mindful of what they were feeding my sibs and I, never ventured in to the tater-tot-laden, condensed-soup-based, sloppy slop that (I’ve always thought!) is Tater Tot Hot Dish. I don’t think I can even technically call myself a Minnesotan anymore.īut here’s the deal: casseroles? Always a staple in my house growing up. I’VE NEVER MADE TATER TOT HOT DISH BEFORE. Now that I’ve illustrated my dinnertime routine in my household growing up, I have something to admit. Sitting down at your designated seat at the precise moment as dinner hits the table.Bounding the stairs, two at a time (because you WILL beat your brother), and promptly being redirected to the bathroom to “wash those paws”.Peeling off snow-soaked mittens, hats, pants, and jackets as quickly as possible.
Being greeted by the overwhelming salivating smell coming from the kitchen.Playing outside, regardless of the the temperature, and being called in by mom/dad/grandma.How about casserole? Now am I speaking your language?Įither way, for me (and arguably, many other Minnesotans), hotdish or casserole evokes strong memories of snowy days… A Minnesota classic! This Lightened Up Tater Tot Hotdish includes a homemade cream soup base, sautéed vegetables, ground beef, and yes – tater tots! Surprisingly simple, this recipe comes together easily making it a great weeknight meal!
