Blue Ribbon Tater Tot Casserole

---

My mom found this contest winning recipe" in the local newspaper in the '70's and i've enjoyed this recipe since. It's very comforting and kid-friendly the way the fried onions blend with the creamy filling. It's something i make for the flavor and not because it is so easy!"!
