How to Make Creamy Mississippi Beefy Tater Tot Casserole in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
I recently made a Crock Pot Beefy Mississippi Tater Tots that was a huge hit in my house. It was more of a loose meat dish. It got me to thinking though. What if I added cream cheese and made it more of a casserole. So, this Creamy Crock Pot Mississippi Beefy Tater Tot Casserole was born. Everyone devoured this yummy casserole.
