Picky Eaters? This Recipe for TaterTot Casserole is Sure To Impress Any Kid! The Ultimate Kid-Approved Meal!

Being a cook at a daycare has taught me two things:

1.  even the pickiest eaters LOVE tater tots, and
2.  kids like anything in a casserole.   Thus… TaterTot Casserole. What I love about this recipe is that it is easy to hide vegetables inside without your kids even knowing that they are in there!  Bonus.  What’s the benefit for mom?  Easy clean up.  I used one pan, one bowl, one spoon and one casserole dish.  

 

Gather all of your ingredients. I think that this is the most important step in making dinner - having everything out and ready to go! Not Shown: cream cheese

Top with shredded cheddar cheese. Give it a little shake to let the cheese get in between the tots. Yummy cheesy potatoy goodness!

This is what it looks like from the side. Stick this baby in a 400 degree oven for 30-35 minutes.
