I wish I knew why my kids disliked peppers so much. They did like the casserole, but picked out all of the peppers. Now why can't they put that much focus into cleaning their room and keeping it clean?
This casserole is delicious and easy to make. But then again anything with tater tots and cheese is delicious right?
