Totino's Party Pizza

Who doesn't love Totino's pizza's?
My mom used to buy them when I was still living at home for my teenage brothers. I never ate them. I just didn't think I'd like them. One day Fat Guy made one and it looked and smelled so good. I asked him to make me one, just like his. He cooked it and just put salt and pepper on it. It was so good.

Today I had a pepperoni. My fav is the Mexican one, but I cant ever find that. I cook mine on a baking sheet bc I like the softer crust. If I have cheese I add alittle extra and I like to top mine w/ Lowry's and dip it in Hidden Valley Ranch.

It really is a tasty treat. Its good almost anytime of day. The flavor is better then any other frozen pizza and really competes w/ delivery too. The cheese isn't that great and the toppings are be sparse but the crust and sauce is yum.

If you've never had one, pick up a few and I bet you will like them, and really you cant beat the price.

**PS I have never seen a family size or a "for one". "For one" is the regular size. Ha.**

Tater Tot Casserole

I was introduced to this at my high school BFF's house. Her mom made it one weekend night I was spending the night. I remember my friend was annoyed because she hated it. But I tried it and LOVED it. I got the recipe from her mom and started making it for my family on my nights to cook. Almost everyone has loved it.
Who doesn't love a cheesy potato casserole? Yum.
Its easy, cheap and makes alot. So its a good recipe for families. Or for leftovers.

Everyone has a different version. Some people add onions, or corn. I've seen green beans too. Its like a Shepard's Pie but easier. Some versions add the tots on top only. I personally mix all the ingredients together and put them in the casserole dish.

Tater Tot Casserole

• 1lb ground meat
• Family size can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 bag frozen tater tots
• 2 cups shredded cheese

Preheat oven to 350. Brown meat. Drain. In a large bowl mix meat, soup (no water), tots and cheese.

Pour in casserole dish. Bake for 30-45 mins.

To me its a cheesy potato-y salty goodness. Its very filling. For me and fat guy it serves about 6. But normal portions probably get around 8-10 servings. Try it out and I'm sure you'll like it too.

Jack in the Box Cheesy Fries

Tonight on the way home I wanted a fountain coke from Jack in the Box. The one by my house is always the perfect level of syrup vs carbonation. So anyway, the line was kinda long and I feel silly just getting a coke so I ordered some cheesy fries.
I dont know if this is on the menu at all the JITB's. I had actually be ordering this for a few years of the menu. I don't know if I like the menu version. The order size of the fries are a small maybe. The new fries are pretty good. Crispy and salty. The cheese is the same they have been using for the Bacon Cheddar Potato Wedges. Its like an American cheese, nothing fancy.
For $1.99 I think I'd rather get 4 of their greasy tacos.
