Tator Tot Casserole

I never knew dinner could be so simple and such a smash hits with not only kids but adults too.  My best friend Jessica and I were hanging out one night and she said Oh I was going to make tator tot casserole.  Me thinking it sounded kind of gross and the kids sounded excited.  To my surprise I went back for seconds.  Jessica and I have been cooking together forever it feels like.  We usually make the same things and have similar techniques but she definitely got me on this one. This is something we make in the house quit often now being its something Jason loves, Braiden loves and I love. This was me and my beautiful friend last week at dinner.
