Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef (ground turkey would also work well here- you can also do ground Veggie crumbles to make it Vegetarian)
1 32 oz. package Tater Tots
¾ cup Hood sour cream (use light for less calories)
¼ cup milk (use low fat or skim for less calories)
½ cup chicken broth
1 ½ cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
1 ½ tsp garlic salt
1 medium onion
2-3 tsps. oil mix (90% veg oil, 10% olive oil)
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Thaw tater tots.
Dice onion finely. (I have been known to mince mine- same flavor, but if your kids don’t enjoy the texture of onions, the smaller they are, the less likely they are to notice them in the dish)
Grease a 9×13 baking pan.
Preheat oven to 350
1. Saute onions in oil mix until they begin to become translucent
