Tater Tot Casserole

September 3, 2024 by Dinner Tonight

Tater tot Casserole has always been a family favorite.  However, the typical recipe is high in fat, preservatives and sodium.  This new and improved recipe adds cubed butternut squash for a delicious sweet flavor and added potassium.  This will soon be the new family favorite.
