tater tot casserole
A friend of mine asked me the other day if I had ever heard of or eaten tater tot casserole. Her husband has been doing some work in Western Nebraska (Broken Bow of all places) and when he inquired about this menu item the waitress exclaimed, "What!? You've never had tater tot casserole before?" Though he didn't order it at the restaurant, he did pick some up at a grocery store buffet, but unfortunately, choose to ate it cold and didn't care for it too much.
I responded to my friend, yes, indeed, I have heard of AND eaten tater tot casserole. Yum. She was inquiring whether this was just a Broken Bow thing or a Nebraska thing. I think it's safe to say it's a Nebraska thing. :)

I love tater tot casserole. My mom's from Minnesota and that's like the casserole capital of the world...so I've eaten every casserole known to man and the tater tot variety wins hands down.
