Tater Tot Casserole

Every now and then I love a good casserole. This isn't super healthy but we are all big fans! Here's the recipe:


Ingredients

AD

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large skillet brown the ground beef along with the onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce until the beef is no longer pink. Draine grease if necessary.
  • In a large bowl mix together the beef mixture with the sour cream, both cans of soup, corn, green beans, and 1 cup of the shredded cheese.
  • Spread the beef and soup mixture into the prepared pan. Top with an even layer of tater tots and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, until tater tots are brown and the casserole is bubbling.
  • Top the casserole with the remaining shredded cheese and bake for 5 minutes longer until cheese is melted.


I usually sub out the green beans for carrots (cook them first so they're soft!) or peas. We usually eat it with salad or fruit.

Grape and Feta Kale Salad

 I will be the first to admit that I can have a hard time with kale. It is just so often.... super gross. :-) But in this salad I actually like it! I don't know if the dressing covers up its taste or what - haha! Anyway, if you're looking for a new salad where the kale actually tastes good, try this one!


INGREDIENTS

  • 6 cups kale, torn into bite sized pieces
  • 8 ounces red seedless grapes, halved(about 1 3/4 cups)
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

DRESSING:

  • tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar(see Note)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • In a large bowl, toss the kale, grapes, walnuts, and feta together.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, rice vinegar, and olive oil. Pour over the salad and toss to coat. Add salt if needed.


Make sure you use good grapes! Also, you don't have to toast your walnuts but I did and it was super good.
