    Sloppy Joe Tater Tot Casserole Recipe

    I have mentioned before how often Tammilee makes crockpot recipes for Tammilee Tips and shares them. My goal is to make delicious recipes that are easy and taste amazing.

    With this Sloppy Joe Tater Tot Casserole Recipe, I was inspired by Tammilee's Crock Pot Tater Tot Casserole which is a family favorite. I wanted to find a way to make this a bit more rich and hearty or as I like to tease Tammilee made by me. lol! 

    This recipe is super easy to whip up and throw in the oven. I love that I can even pre-brown the hamburger ahead of time if I am having a busy week and don't have time to do it the same nights.

    We are trying to meal plan more on weekends and plan out what we can pre-make or cut for the week. Have you tried meal planning? How is it working for you? 

    I think we are still getting into the process of working on it. Any tips you have would be amazing!
