Hi there, my name is Tony Burgess (my friends call me T-Bird) from Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. I am a believer, bleeding heart, idealist, and blogger. I'm married to Laura the Soup Diva and a dog dad to Frankie, Cody, and Mikey. Daily I work for a blood bank recruiting donors. My blog is where I chronicle and curate the sacred, serious, and silly things in my life. I am a member of The Episcopal Church. Thank you for connecting with me. Grace, peace, and love!

Supper Tonight: Sloppy Tots

This looks like a strange concoction but its a great combination of a deconstructed Sloppy Joe on top of tater tots. We first came upon this dish on a church mission trip to Marion, Virginia where we had to eat up leftovers. We made Sloppy Joes and heated up tater tots. Our trip leader Dave had the idea to combine the two and Sloppy Tots were born.

Most folks will use a canned sauce for the Joe’s but I use a recipe I found online years ago called Ma Fosters Sloppy Joes and I use ready made tater tots that heat in the oven. They are better with a little crispness to them.

As you see we put some cheese on top to give it some extra flavor. Try it, it’s delish!

I should be asleep

But nope,  I’m awake and playing on my smartphone. Not the best way to promote sleeping so I hear. It’s 4:30 in the morning as I write this BTW. Why am I awake again?
