Would your children and grandchildren rather have a classic shepherd's pie with the mashed potatoes or this version with the tater tots?

"I don't know a tater that ever got away from me." LOL that is the funniest thing I've heard in a looong time. I've replayed it 5 times!

Dishes like this reminds me of when I was a young divorced mom working and raising my daughter. Now I'm a grandma raising my teen son and grandson and still dishes such as tater tot casserole are a big win. Love it❤

We just got back from Myrtle Beach, SC & My daughter took us to your restaurant. Your black eyed peas & creamed corn were to die for!!! Your biscuits were wonderful but it would have been nice to have some cornbread with those peas & corn! Thank you Paula!

For the last month I have been at home healing from a heart attack.... watching your videos have really lighten my day. I have always loved watching you on TV and was excited you decided to do YouTube videos. You've really got a wonderful gift not only cooking but making people feel like they are at home even though the television screen. Thank You and God Bless !!!

I make this all the time. Before baking, I put it in 4 foil bread pans, I wrap with foil, place in gallon zip bag and freeze 3. I place only a layer of Tots on the top. Each pan is 2 - 3 servings. Just right for 1 or 2.
Instead of the all the browning sauce, I use 2 Tablespoons and I add 1 cup of beef broth, so the gravy bubbles up up between the Tots. I don't put in the season salt in the sauce, I sprinkle it on top of the tots for more flavor. I also like frozen vegetables, instead of canned, 1/2 - 2/3 cup of each and add 1/2 cup of green beans. Bake the same way. About 1 hour. The small pans fit in a toaster oven. I remove the tin foil after 40 mins to brown the top.

Paula, I love my magnifying glass I have and use it all the time. You might check in your town to see if you have a specialty store that sales items for people who are going blind, can’t see as well as they use to or have gone totally blind. We use to have a store like that in my town and it had all kinds of items to help people with sight issues. I think it was called Insight. Can’t remember. Lol. My Dad was losing his sight and all he had for entertainment was his computer. The TV he could make out pretty well but if something was small he couldn’t see it. The letters were to small on his computer at the time and even the large type programs got to be to small. We got him a large magnifying screen this store sold that attached to his computer screen and he was so happy. Love your cooking videos!

Love your pink top. Pink really looks good on you. Yall have a great day

[AnnieWarriorPrincess]

I have made one similar to this, but I added a handful of cheese under the tots and another handful on top of the tots and my kids all 7 loved it! Yours looks like a better base, but will add the cheese too!

I love watching you cook! It is always visiting a great friend! I bought 5 lbs of hamburger and needed a refresher on this casserole. I agree with you a recipe is a starter.

I miss your Gooey Butter cakes. Used to get them at Wal Mart but they have someone else making them now. Just tried one from a smaller grocery here, they are not your Gooey's. Love you Paula. Good to see you again.

[wickedsic]

Your hair looks so cute! Have a great day and can't wait to make this!

[DarkHertzz]

add cheese to the top ( 2 cups) last 15 minutes of baking. Optional: along with the cheese finely chopped scallions or chives.

That is most definitely going to be supper this coming week. Thank you for all your videos. You cook just the way my family cooks! My brother would make your recipes. He past away five months ago; he was such a good cook.

💗Oh Ms. Paula Deen, how good it is to hear your voice! I can't believe it took me this long to find you. I'm headed to the store to grab a bag of tots, so I can make this for the kids tonight!! 💗

[cherylpersinger]

I love 💕 your recipes they are delicious and so easy to fix that even a dummy like me can make and I usually have everything or it doesn’t cost that much to pick up which is great for someone on fixed income
