I don't know why. I grew up with the term "hot dish." And you baked the hot dish in a casserole. Go figure. :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-14170075599231316202016-10-01T00:29:45.330-05:002016-10-01T00:29:45.330-05:00Here in the South, at least, the container is a ca...Here in the South, at least, the container is a casserole and so is the food inside.

Now that I have easy access to Sam's Club, I can get the big bags to keep in the freezer. I saw a video where someone had dehydrated the mini tater tots, so I tried it. I haven't tried rehydrating them yet, but if it works, it would be a good way to keep them on hand should we lose electric.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-77082941698045339602016-09-22T12:45:12.329-05:002016-09-22T12:45:12.329-05:00I really like Tater Tots.

They don't cost a lot and they're really nice, especially with some hot sauce and garlic.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-83339463060357487562016-09-22T02:01:19.347-05:002016-09-22T02:01:19.347-05:00Rob...I like it, too, but I don't often have t...Rob...I like it, too, but I don't often have the tater tots on hand. I think it has maybe cooled down enough for a pot of chili, though. That really sounds good.<br />Had a small storm blow through here earlier tonite. Sounded like some hail, but it was raining too hard to see out the windows.

There is even a contest every year among MN politicians for the best hotdish.
