Since it is just the two of us, I can make a regular size recipe and freeze half, which gives me an extra meal for the price of one. They can be frozen and ready when you need them. Casseroles are usually made ahead and baked when needed. Having a favorite casserole dish to prepare is perfect when entertaining. However they did not contain Mexican Tater Tot casserole! And the desserts were always my favorite. I remember eating at big long tables and helping ourselves to giant buffets. And usually it was quite good prepared lovingly for the church supper for whatever event they were celebrating. He dragged his kids around as he shook hands and smiled. Many a casseroles were consumed when accompanying my dad as he campaigned for a local county office. I ate many a hot dish growing up but they weren’t in my mother’s kitchen except for her artichoke chicken casserole that is still a family favorite. But not everyone knows what a hot dish is, so casserole, this has become. Well, it is a hot dish and it is topped with Tater Tots and apparently that is what makes this different than a casserole. It seems in certain parts of the States, this is called a hot dish. This Mexican Tater Tot Casserole is made with Mexican braised chicken, fajita peppers, and binding it all together is a queso cheese sauce.With Tater Tots on top it can’t get much better!
