Loaded Tater Tot Casserole will go down as one of the best casserole recipes ever. Just another one of our easy family dinner ideas that you must make!
I have mentioned before that I have been unofficially counting points. This means that I pretty much live off zero-point foods 2 out of my 3 meals.
By zero-points I mean fruits & veggies. This can really send my carb & comfort food cravings into overdrive after a few days, even if I have carbs with dinner each night. Sometimes I really just want a muffin or bagel for breakfast – you know?! Some days are easier than others.
But after about a week of feeling like I really want to overindulge, we make a dish like this loaded tater tot casserole that really hits the spot.
I mean pulled pork, potatoes, cheese, bacon- what more could you ask for in a comfort food dish? It’s absolutely perfect if you as me.

I love dishes like this because it’s a great way to use leftovers. We had made bacon at breakfast & pulled pork for dinner the night before. So the next night we pulled out our favorite cast iron skillet & created this casserole with those leftovers & it was phenomenal.

This looks amazing and though I’ve made something similar, not quite as close as this. I will definitely need to test this out…maybe even over the weekend as a nice full lunch with some leftover beef and chicken from this and last week! 😀
