The Best Comfort Food
You’ll love the creamy beef and veggies filling loaded with flavor and topped with crispy tater tots and cheddar cheese! I’ll be honest, I’d never heard the term “hotdish” until a couple of months ago when I was listening to Heidi’s Guide To Four Letter Words on Audible (super fun read – btw).
But this Tater Tot Hotdish recipe made me a believer! As the book states – don’t call it a casserole. But, let’s be honest, for those of us who don’t know what a hotdish is, that’s the easiest way to describe it.
