Wow, gross. They eat all that junk!
"Press citizen sucks"?? What?
Tater tots are like, the BEST. GOSH!
The name Babbles is hilarious, especially for a guy! Although I knew one named Stinker once. When I read Demo a**holes, I read it as Dem Ol' A%%holes!?! Press citizen - ? A backwards newspaper?
MMMMMMMMMMM tater tot hotdish
Clearly, Mrs. Babbles was going to make Tater Tot Hotdish!
Press Citizen is a newspaper here. At the time it must have been harping on tater-eating Republicans such as Babbles.
Maybe Babbles isn't a guy, maybe babbles is a girl?. Straight privilege sucks.
Well, now you have to share the recipe for tater tot hotdish... I'm intrigued.
Hey, KL, the note refers to Babbles as "a wonderful guy." So, it's fairly safe to assume Babbles be a boy. Str8 privilege is lousy though.
I wonder if Babbles works for the Press Citizen and thus the frustrations with that left-wing bastion of the liberal press. The commie pinkos that he and his love hate are working him to the bone. Not to worry, Babbles! During those long hours, you will stay fortified on burgers, pop and tots and will be warmed by the creamiest of mushroom soup (not to mention the love of this list writer).
My bad Eggs. Perchance I am cranky and not reading correctly anymore. Some Tatertot casseerole with a nice big Pop sure would cheer me up though.
KL, that meal would fix the world's problems. Serve that casserole h-o-t and the pop c-o-l-d and let the love in!
Furthermore, maybe Babbles is a girl and the one doing the grocery shopping is a guy...hmm?
Man! If "Babbles" is a girl, I feel sorry for her...she must talk a lot. This looks like a girl's handwriting to me. Mmmmmm tater-tot hot dish - bet someone is going to a big pot luck carry-in. *rolls eyes*
This makes me want to send my boyfriend a note, telling him how much I "appeaicite" him.
Would someone post the recipe for a Tater Tot Hot Dish already?!?

Regarding the recipe for tatertot hotdish: There's not much more to it than what's on the list. Maybe add a little paprika to the top if you want to get all fancy-schmancy.
It almost looks like a recipe for "poor" mans casarole. The cream of 'shroom soup is a give away
TATOR TOT HOT DISH
1-1 1/2 lb. hamburger
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1/2 bag tator tots
1 onion, chopped (optional)
Brown hamburger and place in 13 x 9 inch pan. Add onion. Top with tator tots. Pour soup over all and bake for 1 hour at 325 degrees.
Okay, take 1 bag of tater-tots. Shake the crap out of the bag until they kinda smush up. Dump contents on cookie tray. Pour can on mushroom soup on top. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and pecans. You haven't lived.
Here is one recipie:
TATER TOT HOTDISH
1 lb. or more hamburger
1 sm. onion, chopped
1 c. cut celery
1 lb. frozen tater tots
1 lb. frozen peas or mixed vegetables
1 can mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 soup can milk
Brown hamburger and season lightly; add chopped onion and stir with hamburger until done. Add cut celery. Put into baking casserole, layer of peas, then layer of tater tots. Mix soups and milk; pour over all. Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees.
Or do variations on that. It tastes good with all sorts of different veggies, and we usually dump hot sauce in it as well.
DaisyDuke, I think I might barf. Before today, I had never heard of TTHD. Now I wish today never happened (at least the Found part of the day!).
No, no. the soup goes UNDERNEATH the tots!!!
Brown and drain one pound of hamburger. Place in 1 1/2 quart casserole. Spread one can of Cream of Mushroom soup on top. Cover with Tater Tots original. Cover and cook for about a half hour at 350. If it isn't bubbly enough, zap it in the microwave for another two or three minutes. Enjoy.
Holy crap, Danielle at work, I completely overlooked the horrendous spelling of appreciate. Once I read your comment, tho, it was all I could see. Yowsers. Still, I wouldn't mind someone "appeaiciting" me enough to write a little note. :-/ What she did was sweet; bad spelling, goofy nickname, poor eating habits and all.
Food Network, eat your heart out!!!!
Wow, I'm from Minnesota and I've never had tater tot hot dish -- good thing! It sounds pretty nasty.
I'm assuming the coffee filters, creamer and dish soap are not part of the Hot Dish.
I'm not really sure, but I think that FOUND's next contest should be a Tater Tot Hot Dish recipe contest. Also, I think they should have these contests for every shopping list, and even for other finds, like pictures. You can make a meal with a picture for inspiration. Think about it FOUND, I think it would be great!
Pssst... someone let me in on the secret... What's a tatertot look like?
LoL ya'll crack me up
What kind of pop? I like how that's what I'm wondering about!

To the miss in New Zealand: a tater tot looks like chopped up potatoes formed into little cylindrical shapes, about an inch long by an inch in diameter. deep fried, hopefully, yums.

i dont think babbles is the guy's name...i think the writer started to say "i love you" then she thought oh gawd im babbling, so she wrote that, then finished it off with "and appreciate all you do..."and so on...
Dear God! tater tot hotdish is an actual recipe. I googled it and there are many variations...blech!!
oh my this is the funniest find, not because of the list but because ya'll are so dang funny.
Bluejeanbaby watch napolean dynomite.
and ps my missionary is serving in New Zealand!
an lds mission for all you don't know can google it.
This is the second funniest thing I've seen all day (the first of course being those D-Bags on FOX News getting getting themselves all in a tizzy about Aqua Teen Hunger Force.) I "appeaicited" reading everyone's har-larius comments, but am puzzeled over all of the tater-tot-hot-dish-ness. In my neck of the woods the above ingredients go with the recipe for white trash casarole.
TaterTots look like a small ball of mashed potatoe wrapped in breadcrumbs. I didn't know what they were either until I visited America.
BluejeanBaby, here's a link to show what a tater tots look like:

Surely the *only* drink a self-respecting pop sommelier would suggest to complement Tater-tot Hot Dish, is Orange Slice?

I hope babbles has a fun nickname for the lady who wrote this for him! And i hope tater tot dinner was yummy!
Seriously, people, you've got to have a bag of some kind of frozen vegetables in your tater tot hot dish. And it is delicious!

Here is a photo of a tot, made of taters.
bluejeanbaby: tater tots are very finely chopped potatoes molded into kind of a marshmallow shape. you buy them frozen and bake them in the oven. i have never poured soup on them though. i am torn between wanting to taste it and wanting to barf.
Tater tot hot dish doesn't sound gross, but I've never had it. Also, I'm assuming that Babs is doing the shopping. :D
And Bluejeanbaby:http://images.gfxartist.com/images/Art
That's a tatertot.
What's your name?
ok doesn't the soup and veggies and crap make the tater tots soggy? isn't the crispness the joy of the tot? can you believe so many people are discussing tater tots?
i'm lol-ing like mad over the hot dish discussion. my office probably thinks i'm mad, AND THEY'RE PROBABLY RIGHT!
Babbles is capitalized so its obviously a nickname she has for him. I'm sure he's terrified about his friends finding out, too! haha.. i would be if someone called ME babbles.
Haha. I love finding grocery lists. I always felt so wierd reading them, though, like I would find ingredients for a bomb on there or something...good times, good times. :]
First, the Press Citizen does suck, because they never responded to my application.
Second, the ingredients sound like those to this delicious tater tot casserole a friend once made. Now I want to eat it.
Tater Tot Casserole is the bomb. I know it sounds a little yucky but it is so delish it isn't even funny. My boyfriend hates that kind of stuff but her requests this everytime he's coming back home from being on the road!!!!
Maybe coffe filters are a new way to control your cough. keep from spreading germs and such.
The Press Citizen in Iowa is pretty bad.
lost in space, the tots don't get soggy from the soup. You put them on top, so they get crispy.
LOL, I love reading this stuff. It is refreshing to see all of the genuine humor. :))
I used to make this with gubment cheese and canned pork. - No fooling. -
Omg...I laughed so hard reading this!! And yes, the tots go on TOP of the hamburger & soup. When I make this, we FIGHT over who gets the bigger helping. lol
ROFLOL!!!!!
Oh,m Tater Tot Casserole! It is white trash, and it is yummy. Here's my recipe; we recently tried to Mexify it with the addition of chorizo and pepper-jack cheese and a bit of fresh jalapeno cooked with the meat. Awesome!:
Ingredients:
1 two-lb. bag of tater tots
1 or 2 bags Morningstar Farms frozen veggie crumbles, or 1 lb. cooked ground turkey or beef
2 cans condensed cream of [whatever] soup
1 soup-can-full of milk
½ to ¾-lb. shredded cheese (sharp cheddar is good, pepper jack is, too)
Red-pepper flakes, optional
Method:
Cook tater tots until pretty crispy, using package instructions. Combine soup and milk in saucepan or in microwave, heating until mixed. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Distribute veggie crumbles or cooked meat in even layer on bottom of ungreased 15” x 9” pan. Layer cooked tater tots on top of crumbles. Pour soup mixture evenly over tater tots. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Layer cheese evenly on top of casserole. Sprinkle with red-pepper flakes, if desired. Bake until cheese is melted, 5–15 minutes. Remove from oven. Let cool before serving.
Sounds like a poor mans' 'SHEPARDS PIE'!!!!
You might as well use real potatoes, with butter and cheddar cheese on top, bake for 1 hour in 375' oven, then broil for 5-10 minutes...the butter and cheese make the mashed potatoes sooo crispy!!! Tatertots is the lazy way of doing it!!
Still yummy...no matter!!
