This recipe is famous in Minnesota. Sugar Bear, I'm sure being a 'Minnie-soda' gal you have made this or similar many times!
Minnesota Hotdish
A favorite dish in Minnesota for years, but the term "hotdish" wasn't used
until the 1930's. This is a one dish meal that includes some kind of meat, a
can of cream soup, mixed veggies, and a starch. This isn't the kind of dish you
make a fuss about, it's the kind you throw together for dinner, the church
potluck, or a family get together.
1½ pounds ground beef
1 t. onion powder
¼ t. salt
2 10.75oz cans cream of mushroom soup
½ cup milk
1 16oz pkg frozen mixed vegetables
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
½ of a 32oz pkg frozen seasoned tater tots
1. Preheat oven to 400º
2. Coat 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray
3. In skillet brown ground beef with onion powder, salt and pepper,
stirring until meat crumbles and is no longer pink. Drain. Spoon into baking
dish.
4. In bowl combine soup and milk, mixing well.
5. Top ground beef with frozen vegetables. Pour soup mixture over that and
sprinkle with cheese.
6. Place tater tots on top of cheese.
7. Bake 40-45 minutes or until tater tots are golden.
**This dish is not written in stone ..... use whatever kind of meat you like (shredded cooked chicken thighs are good.) Use a variety of cream soup, use different vegetables.
Tonight is my Patriots and the Titans playoff game. One of the Titans, Marcus Mariota, a former Oregon Ducks player and first of the Ducks to win the Heisman Trophy as well as the first Hawaiian born to win it.
He is a favorite player of my grandson Tucker! In the Titans game with the
Chiefs recently he threw a pass, it bounced off a Chief's player, Mariota caught
it and made the touchdown. AMAZING! He caught his own pass and scored!!!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Saturday. Ciao.

January 13, 2018 is
National Rubber Ducky Day
Today is National Rubber Ducky Day! In 1970, Jim Henson
performed the song “Rubber Duckie” as Ernie on Sesame Street, and the rubber duck bath toy
has been an iconic American symbol ever since. Rubber ducks have been around
since the rise of the rubber industry in the late 1800s, but no one knows their
exact origin.
Did you know that in January of 1992, a shipment of 29,000
rubber duckies fell off a cargo ship in the Pacific Ocean? By 2007, the
“Friendly Floatees” had traveled 17,000 miles around the world on the ocean
currents. Some are still afloat today! Over time, people reported seeing the
duckies in places such as Australia, Indonesia, South America, the Bering
Strait, the Arctic, and in the Atlantic Ocean!
Happy Rubber Ducky Day!
I have my own collection of rubber duckies... military ducks
and the ones by my bathtub.....
