I forgot to answer this part. I wouldn't take tater tot hotdish to
church. There was a time when people would have been excited to see
it at a church dinner, but it's become quite ordinary now. Almost a
forgotten dish, unlike tuna noodle hotdish.

ROFLMAO! Good point. I don't remember amounts on the soup or
veggies. I've had it made with Veg-All, too, but prefer the green
beans. French style green beans were fairly new on the market back at
that time, too. This was a pretty snazzy dish in its day.

Please do .... and post pictures! I'll bet people would love to see
what they're missing. If you don't, I will, but it'll be a couple
weeks.
