Weird Foods VII: Tater Tot Hot Dish

About a week ago, we were treated to a traditional mid-western meal, cooked by one of our wonderful and generous friends. She made us tater tot hot dish (hot dish in Minnesota = casserole in Wisconsin).

I can't remember all the ingredients but I think it had minced beef, a can of mushroom soup, a can of mixed vegetables and, obviously, tater tots.

To me, it tasted very similar to shepherd's pie or cottage pie, only slightly more creamy due to the addition of canned soup. It sounds like it is easy to make, is probably pretty good for you and was delicious. I give tater tot hot dish a solid two thumbs up.
