This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

My family loves this!! I usually lines the bottom and the sides of the crockpot all the way to the top. Then I pour the mixture of beef and vegetables in the middle. Sometimes we add some hot-sauce to our own portions, seems weird, but tastes delicious! Will make over and over!

My husbands super picky. He loved it! I will split the tots next time for texture.

First attempt at tatertot hotdish in a crock pot turned out pretty well. I only changed one thing and that was to bake the tots that go on top and put them on during the last hour of cooking so they had a crisp texture. Oh and I turned the crock to high during the last hour as the other review suggested. My kids loved it!

I put half the tater tots in the bottom of the crock and reserve the rest. When the meal is almost done I cook the reserved tots and put them on top. You get the bottom tots mixed in for more flavor but have the crunchy tots on top.

The first time I made this I followed the directions. It was good but the tater tots got all mixed into the rest of the ingredients so they weren't really noticeable. And my kids love tots so they wanted them in their dinner. The next time I made the recipe except put the tots in the oven and put the rest of the ingredients in the crock. Put the browned tots on top and cooked as directed then put the cheese on top of the tots. The kids and I all liked that way better.

Made this tonight and it is yummy! Did it a little different, in that I put some onions in when I browned the beef, and a can of green beans instead of frozen vegetables. I would also suggest giving it an hour or two on high heat, or at least with my slow cooker I did. It was creamy, rich, it didn't have cheese in it but tasted like it did. Really filling and satisfying.
