"Taste of Home is 1 of 2 sites that shows me repeatedly it has its fingers on the pulse of what the home cook is after. They most often value ingredient-friendly simple fixes that their families will welcome to their dinner table. Trends are factors too & 1 of those trends is recipes that use tater tots. I didn't realize this was "a thing" until recently when I started to see so many creative recipes w/tater tots as an ingredient. This recipe makes a casserole for your dinner meal & a 2nd freezer-ready option for another day. Paired w/fruit for dessert, your meal will pretty much contain all the basic food groups. It's like a chicken pot pie topped w/tater tots. TOH credited Fran Allen of St Louis, Missouri for this sure to-be-a-winner recipe. ENJOY!"
