On Friday mornings I make meals for shut-ins, elderly, or those recovering from a medical procedure. I have a list of meals I choose from. Most of them are meals my family used to enjoy. However, our diets have changed so much that I end up making a totally different version of the meal for my family. It's amazing the differences I now see in foods. Food that I once considered home-made from scratch, I now laugh at because I know the difference. Here's an example:
The first picture is using canned soup mix. The second picture shows the same recipe, but made with a homemade soup mix, totally from scratch using dried herbs, seasonings, and almond milk.
Now for the good part! Below, I will share with you the recipe I make for my family. Enjoy!
Tater Tot Casserole
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground hamburger meat
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped

- 1/4 cup almond milk (or water)

- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
