Talk about comfort food! This taco tater tot casserole tastes like a cross between beef enchiladas and totchos. The filling is saucy and savory, with nice little crisp bursts from the corn. When you scoop under the hearty tots, you unveil a layer of gooey cheese. The fresh topping of avocado, tomato, and scallions helps prevent the casserole from tasting too heavy and rich. While you brown the beef mixture and prepare the filling, the tots get a jump-start on cooking; this helps them stay a little crispier in the baked casserole. Feel free to swap out the ground beef for chicken or turkey. The spices will warm up whatever meat you prefer.

Taco Tater Tot Casserole Is As Good As It Sounds

This ranking on the least attractive zodiac signs is not entirely about beauty and physique but is mainly based on personality traits and character. No matter how charming, successful, or intelligent a person is, some of their personality traits can make them undesirable within a split second.

Spaghetti topped with meat sauce checks off important boxes for a satisfying meal in many situations. Number one, kids like it, and it's one of the first foods they can eat all by themselves. A cherub face shoveling handsful of spaghetti into its sauce-coated mouth is one of life's cutest visions.

When was the last time you “slept like a baby” at the perfect temperature and without any disturbances, like light and noise? Yeah, I can’t remember, either. But I do remember one thing that came in handy when my kids were babies (and no, it wasn’t a white noise maker): insulated blackout curtains. You know the ones with decorative fabric on one side that perfectly matched their nursery colors and a black backing that eliminated light and kept them cool in the summer and warm in the winter. These curtains were a lifesaver, allowing my babies to sleep through their naps, even in broad daylight and with a house full of people. Today, as teens, the same blackout curtains hang in their rooms, contributing to their 11 a.m. wake-up time each weekend.

Our goal when creating this Key lime pie martini was to have a feeling of eating a slice of Key lime pie—but in a purely sippable form. So this cocktail is lime forward, with a creamy mouthfeel thanks to whipping cream and a finish with vanilla. It is quite fun to drink—perhaps too fun (you decide!).

Nothing shows off the beauty of the natural world quite like a sunset. When the day’s finale is especially vibrant, no dazzling Fourth of July fireworks show or manmade special effect can come close to competing. A few things we love about sunsets: they’re free, there’s always an encore performance, and you can see one from just about anywhere. The sparkle and reflection of the sun gleaming off a rippling ocean makes a beach sunset especially romantic. Other times, the best place to watch the sun slip under the horizon is from comfort of your very own back porch. But for sunset chasers searching for their next all-time favorite show, there’s one place that should immediately jump to the top of your bucket list, and it’s Max Patch in Hot Springs, North Carolina.

Clover mites feed on more than 200 different species of plants, preferably clover, which gives them their name. But, surprisingly, they typically aren’t a huge problem for homeowners outdoors. It’s when they head indoors—in large numbers—that it’s a little more upsetting. “Clover mites are an occasional invader into our homes,” says Eric Benson, PhD, professor emeritus and extension entomologist with Clemson University. “In some years, you’ll see more than others. When the temperature and moisture levels are right, the population can explode.”
