Potluck Thursday
Thursday, August 2nd, 2007
A few weeks ago I did a blog on the Food Network channel, and it sparked an idea for this blog. :idea: A lot of you posted on that Food Network blog about how much you love to cook, and others, like me, posted about how we hate to cook. So, I thought it would be fun to do a “potluck” recipe swap, and share with each other some of our personal favorite recipes! The only request I’m going to make is that the recipe has to be quick and fairly easy to put together (nothing gourmet, because we want the ones who hate to cook to WANT to cook your recipe!). You can post a recipe for a dessert, a main dish, a side dish, appetizer, soup, or whatever else you’d like. And feel free to post more than recipe if you’d like! 
Phyllis – if you’re reading this today, you mentioned a “pecan crusted salmon with spinach sauce” during that Food Network blog, and I’d LOVE to have that recipe! I love salmon and spinach I’m always trying to find ways to spruce it up.
So, for our potluck Thursday, I’ll be bringing a Tater Tot Casserole. This is a quick and super-easy meat and potatoes casserole, and it’s a big hit with the kids, too! 
TATER TOT CASSEROLE
1 lb. Lean Ground Beef
16 oz. Bag of Tater Tots
2 Cups Grated Cheddar Cheese
1 Can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 Cup Sour Cream
1 Small Can French Fried Onions (option, but gives it great flavor!)
Cook ground beef, drain, and place into a non-stick casserole dish. Mix together the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream, and pour over the ground beef. Sprinkle grated cheese on top of that, followed by the french fried onions. Lastly, place tater tots over entire dish and cook/bake in oven for 25-30 minutes (or until tater tots are crispy) at 350 degrees.
So, what would you like to bring to our potluck today?
