Sorry but I found it disappointing. The sloppy joe mixture overwhelmed the tots so much I could barely taste them. Read More

Yum! I made this as written, except I put the tots on top because I like crispy tots. Read More

Like the recipe but changed it to match what needed used up. My family like it but not with great enthusiasm. I sauteed an onion garlic and mushrooms which were sliced. Moved to baking dish. Browned one pound of ground beef drained and and moved to baking dish along with a half a small jar of salsa tomato paste and filled the salsa jar with water and added that too. Seasoned with basic stuff and sprinkled cheddar cheese. Put a layer of tatter tots and sprinkled more cheese on top of the tots. Baked for 40 minutes at 350. Would make it again cause I really like it. Would use and full can of salsa and enough water to get the last of the salsa out of the jar Read More

This was a nice and easy weeknight meal. The kids loved it and so did the grown ups! The recipe as-is would feed a family of 4 with no leftovers. Next time I will double it so we can have larger portions. Read More

My family loved this recipe. Will be making this again. Thanks for sharing. So easy! The only addition was a little bit of ketchup on the top. Read More
