Quick and Affordable Dinner idea! 🥘

I wouldn’t dare make some of the tater tot casserole recipes I’ve seen online! Looks like they’re just playing in food 🙄 but MINE!! Mine will make you mad when it’s all gone! I’ve been making this quick budget friendly meal since I was a teen and it’s still bussin! Okay so boom

✨Follow the heating instructions on the back of the tater tots bag you choose! I just estimate when it’s done I don’t have an exact time to give you 😬 BUT it’s basically when your tots are hot thoroughly on the top and bottom layer and definitely have browned on top! Sprinkle some black pepper on top once it comes out of the oven or on top before it goes in! It’s up to you! Then it’s ready to enjoy!

OH and I always use TWO cans of EVERYTHING and TWO bags of tater tots. One bag for each layer! Feeds a family of 4 or 5! And if you have a large family, good luck trying to have leftovers! 🤣
