It is not all croquettes and Szechuan peppercorns around here friends. This super easy dinner dish is covered in tater tots… And no, I did not make my own tater tots… hello? How long would that take? It also has ketchup in it. Ketchup!! And I’m actually convinced that’s what makes it so good.
Also, we LOVE this. Pretty much devour the whole skillet love it. What more do you need to know? So good.
*this is a vegetarian dish, but you can easily add ground beef/chicken… just cook it in the skillet before adding the onions.*
