Tater Tot Hamburger Pie
The other night I found a package of tater tots that I had forgotten about. Since I had forgotten they were in there means, they had been in there too long. I decided I needed to use them. I was able to whip up this Tatortot Hamburger Pie, which my family enjoyed.

Mini Buffalo Chicken Pot Pies
A couple weeks ago I posted a yummy recipe of Chunky Buffalo Chicken. I made a triple batch of it because I had several pounds of chicken that I thawed out and it needed to be used. I love to do things like this to help expedite a meal later in the week. This saves so much time. So this is a “leftover remix!”
Servings: 12
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
Chunky Buffalo Chicken
1/2 packet of Ranch mix
1 container of grands layers biscuits
2 cups of frozen veggie mix (peas, carrots, and corn)
1 cup of chopped onion
1 can of cream of chicken soup
Chili {Crockpot}
It has been crazy, crazy cold. We got back home on Monday from 80° South Florida weather for 11 days, so this is quite a shock to the system. It was 14° yesterday with a windchill of -2°. I know you folks in the North have no pity on me, but I’ll just say I don’t know how you Northerners do it. So anyway, with all this cold I decided chili and cornbread waffles would be warm and comforting. If you’re having to brave the cold like I am, you should give this chili a try!
Servings: 6-8
