Recipe for Creamy Hamburger Spud Bake

Following are highlights from a handwritten note stuffed under our door by our next-door neighbor, Mildred Bolus:

Creamy Hamburger Spud Bake

Ingredients:

2 lbs. hamburger, lightly browned
salt and pepper
chopped onion
1lb. package frozen tater tots

Directions:

Press hamburger and onion mixture in bottom of medium casserole. Sprinkle with salt and pepper (go easy with that pepper, though!). Place tater tots on top. Pour over top: one 8 oz. container sour cream diluted with 1/4 cup skim milk.

Bake 1/2 hour at 350 degrees, uncovered. Serve with ketchup.

Mildred Bolus visits the Alameda Daily Noose and me every Tuesday for tea while her husband Mort plays golf, year-round, rain or shine, at Alameda Daily Noose World Headquarters.

MMMMMmmmm, that sounds deeeeeelicious. You won't find this at one of those fancy-schmansee restaurants like Shay Paneese, nosireebob!

Well, that's all very well, but I would never make this recipe with skim milk. My version uses heavy cream, or whole milk in a pinch. I'm also not sure about the onions. I guess Mildred always did have exotic tastes.
