Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
Tonight I finally made this and it was amazing! I bought tater tots weeks ago when first I joined this group and saw this recipe, never bought them before. So simple, tasty and we will make again for sure.
This is an absolute favourite of mine and now all my family and friends. So tasty.
I tried this tonight. It was excellent.
We didn’t use the cheese but only because the kids didn’t want it
OMG, this is the bomb! I added chilly beans and corn to the mixture as well. The potato gems complemented the Mexican mince superbly and the avocado and sour cream topped it off nicely. Will be a regular, thanks so much Pauline!
Delicious! So easy. So so tasty. My husband loves this one. It’s a regular meal of ours.
Was so easy, and so yum!!!
So easy and so yummy!!!
A family favourite in our house. We add peas and corn also.
I’ve made this a couple of times now and it’s sooo good and easy to make. I didn’t have a capsicum (grated two carrots instead and mixed through) and substituted the tinned tomato’s for a can of condensed tomato soup. This will be a regular in my house and all the family enjoy it.
