Yes make tater tot hotdish! It’s a Minnesotan classic! Definitely add cheese and seasoning – not typically in the traditional but then again traditionally they use canned green beans blegh. I usually use ground beef, onions, red potatoes, baby carrots and peas for mine. I gotta try nixing the condensed soup though, never thought to do that. Also I highly suggest using crispy crowns vs tater tots, minor change (maybe it’s not fair to call it tater tot hotdish anymore?) but the crispy outside to soft inside ratio is far superior.

Also I really, really like that blue striped caftan!
