I Just Created a Critter

Every time Joe comes in from massacring whichever God's creature  has the unfortunate luck of having a hunting or trapping season looming over its head, he asks, "what kind of critter did you make me?"  In non-redneck terms that means, what did you make for supper?   To a suburban girl...WTF is supper??  We eat DINNER.  Ok so he broke it down for me.  Even though he actually calls lunch dinner and dinner supper.  He understands me when I call supper dinner but I still get confused when he calls lunch dinner.  Confused?  Me too.

Anyway, a dear friend had some surgery the other day and the last two times I had surgery she was sweet enough to cook me something yummy and deliver it, so I felt it was only necessary to return the considerate favor.  I asked her what she wanted because it's my opinion that everyone likes what I like, which is obscene amounts of onions, garlic, and Franks Red Hot Sauce.  To my delight, she responded, "tater tot hot dish???!!!"  YESSSS.  YES. YES!  YESS!!!!!  My second favorite thing! :)

I love cooking and even more I love inventing new dishes, especially when they involve Velveeta cheese and bacon.  Guess what I put in the tater tot hot dish??  Obscene amounts of bacon and Velveeta but I went light on the garlic, onion, and unfortunately this recipe called for zero Franks.  I created a New Critter!!!  The only problem is...Joe loves tater tot hot dish but he doesn't like bacon.  WUT.  Get real.  Who the HELL does not like bacon?  This fuckin weird-o I guess.  I told him before that I was unsure if this relationship would survive because our love for bacon was not mutual.  He prefers sausage links.  Really?? Gross.

Here is my masterpiece.  Unfortunately/thankfully it's not staying at my house so I hope the Fitz's aren't on any kind of diet because I'm about to bring it and clog their arteries.  Love them!

 

I mean, it looks like regular tater tot hot dish but there's Velveeta oozing in between the tots and there's bacon and all other kinds of delish shit in there. MMMM.
