The tater tot hotdish I grew up with. ... Under the tots at least.
Shepard's pie? My mother was obsessed with this. I hate the vegetable water at the bottom
Pretty close! Swap the mash for tots and the gravy for cream soup.
Yep, cream of mushroom or cream of celery. A staple for the upper Midwestern hotdish.
Not to boast but i've never seen it with water at the bottom like this. Is this perhaps the outcome of layering the top with potato nuggets from the freezer rather than mashed potato?
That would make sense. Maybe this is a much better way of doing it then if it allows vegetables moisture to bake out evenly
You could probably defrost them first. It's hard to overcook tots. You can also defrost frozen hash browns and then squeeze out all the moisture. It's a handy potato pancake cheat. You'd get a super crispy top, and no water, but you do need to squeeze like it's a stone.
Lutheran church basement potluck favorite!
Okay, see what's under the potato gems? Put it on toast and make jaffles. Cold day, hot mince jaffles for lunch.
Ground beef in gravy? I mean, some might scoff at the frozen veggies, maybe.
"gravy" is a stretch. This picture looks way better than the reality. Cream soup and usually some bread crumbs or noodles to stretch it. If there was flavor, it was the salt from the tots.
That's too bad, all those basic ingredients could make something good.
