(shudders) I don't think they're much interested in encouraging the kids to rise to new heights of culinary sophistication, Karen. They're mostly interested in reducing food waste and filling empty bellies within the constraints of their budget. It's tasty - meat, vegetables, potatoes, gravy; easy to serve and easy to eat with the tools provided. I suspect the salt and fat content could be reduced by subbing a homemade binder sauce and maybe using a different preparation of the spuds - but thenit wouldn't be Tater Tot Hotdish, would it?

Kids at my school would scarf down the tater tot casserole and I'd be glad to see them do it. It's a lot easier to teach a child who has a full belly and stable blood sugar. Lunches at my school have gone downhill rapidly the past few years as our new dietician is more interested in the bottom line than nutrition and appeal. Kids aren't eating and afternoons are cranky. I'd probably buy hot lunch on tater tot day, too. Tara |

Now that i think about it i do keep frozen potatoes around just for convenience, really for the elderly relative but i have been know to nuke a frozen potato patty for myself on occasion. -- JL |

Not to mention they are not packed in salt water. Sometime in the last 3 years I became sensitive to too much salt. > Of course i am lucky enough to live in a temperate area with fresh veggies > available year round, other wise i would probly have to make do with > preserved veggies of one sort or another. Winter In wisconsin is not good for fresh veggies. I did get letuce, though verry small heads... dont know what Jeff was thinking when he picked them out. Also got cucumbers, tomatos and brocoli and some mushrooms. Those all should make some good salads this week. > The "elderly relative" thought she was being frugal when she found some > inexpensive cans of asparagus on sale and bought several, what an > abomination that was. Oh canned asparagus is nasty. I LOVE fresh or Frozen. My kids even like it. > Though i was able to puree them with some creme, black pepper a bit of > lemon zest & garlic and serve as a soup which she liked much better than > the asparagus warmed up straight from the can. Hmmm that sounds interesting actualy. > I am guilty of keeping frozen peas around for her sake but if i want peas > i get them freshly shelled for less than a dollar a pound. Hmmm I dont think I have seen fresh peas in a while. I bet they have them at Market Place. We stopped shopping there when Walmart Came in. Tori |

I LOVE fresh green beans.. my mil admitted this year that she only likes canned green beans and probably wont plant them again Her garden is slowly becoming a Salsa Garden. Mostly Tomatos with some misc. other things like squash and potatoes. Tori |

"-) > > I made it in early December here. http://tinyurl.com/28k3no That looks pretty much like the old Tater Tot Casserole that was popular in the late 70's. No onion or shrooms in that one and green beans instead of peas. I've made a similar dish for my daughter and she loves it. She has food allergies so I can't use prepared soups or even the Tots for that matter. I usually use Spud Puppies or certain brands of hash browns that she is not allergic to. I use canned green beans and sometimes add corn or whatever other leftover veggies I have. I add chopped fresh onion and celery to the meat when I cook it. Chicken can be subbed for the beef. I make a gravy of some mushrooms and a bit of chicken or beef broth. It's very good. Cheese is also good added to this but she's allergic to that too. |

I prefer fresh green beans - in fact, >I use frozen ones only in vegetable soup. Yeah, what's up with that? When I was a kid growing up in one of the richest vegetable-growing areas in the US (California's Central Valley), it was my mom's default for "the fresh doesn't look good/is way out of season and costs way too much". Mom is still picky about produce.* She disliked most canned veggies, having had a quantity of bad experiences as a girl: a father who shopped the dented-can specials and stored them forever, summer cannery work as a teen, and horrid dorm food. Canned corn (and of course tomato products) were about the only veg we saw in cans in the house. Frozen was next-best to fresh in her mind. She was particular on the brands she bought (some are better than others). * When she had a bad bout of arthritis and couldn't get out much, my dad took over the grocery shopping. He got told in no uncertain terms to only buy produce at Raley's (very conscientious local chain) and at the farmstand because she was not pleased with the quality at other markets. Barb, if I ever see tater tots at the food bank, or I see everything else but tater tots, I'd so make this in mass quantities for my feed-the-hungry exercise ... it would probably be a huge hit. Comfort food, and I say it as someone who always ate tater tots on the side . mmm mmm mmm, crispy potatoes ... Charlotte -- |
