Tater-Tot Casserole

If you grew up like me, you were most definitely eating Tater Tot casserole more than a few times a month. It's a favorite.... well was, until I discovered it wasn't all that healthy, AT ALL! After being on my journey to Optimal Health for more than a year, I was really missing this comfort food from my childhood. After many hours with my condiments list, Optavia Guide, and Momma's recipe, I did it! I was able to make this baby Lean and Green approved. Here is what I cam up with!
