Once this mixture is smoothed out, bring the vegetable mixture into the milk mixture, and then add the reserved beef. Then slowly add the milk while you whisk and scrape the bottom of the skillet. Cook for a minute or two, until the mixture is browned and fragrant.Add soy sauce, Tabasco, and Worcestershire to the gravy side of the skillet. The mixture will be thick and paste-like. Draw in as much butter, beef fat, and juices from the vegetables as you can, into the flour. When the butter is melted, sprinkle the flour over the butter, whisking all the while (a flat whisk works awesome here!). Add remaining 4 tablespoons of butter to empty side of skillet. Tilt the skillet to draw the juices from the vegetables out into the empty side of the skillet. Cook until the onions are transparent and the mushrooms are nicely softened, about 10 to 12 minutes.Now slide everything in the skillet to one side. Once butter is melted, add the onion, red bell pepper, poblano pepper, mushrooms, jalapeño pepper, and garlic. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the beef fat, and then add 2 tablespoons of butter to the beef fat in the pan. Remove browned beef to a plate with a slotted spoon.

Preheat oven to 350☏.Slice beef against the grain into thin strips. The quintessential one-dish meal found at most any family reunion, funeral lunch, church supper, or potluck in the Upper Midwest. I do not recommend baking then freezing, as the tots do not hold up well.Hotdish. If you freeze it, make sure to wrap it tightly (it will keep for 2-3 months), then let it thaw in the fridge for 2-3 days then bake. If you assemble the night before, just take it out of the fridge and bake. Yes! This can be assembled the night before, or it can even be assembled, then frozen. In addition to the chicken, you will need some Buffalo Sauce, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, sharp cheddar and pepper jack cheeses and of course tater tots! Can this be made ahead? You could boil and shred some, or you could even pan fry some! Just keep in mind that it needs to be cooked. My son suggested that next time I use the frozen Tyson breaded tenderloins, which I think was a great suggestion. You could certainly use any kind of cooked chicken you want. I used a rotisserie chicken and shredded it in my stand mixer. You will need 3 cups of shredded chicken. I suppose that is the most obvious first question for any recipe! This one requires just a few. And if you like this recipe be sure to check out this classic tater tot casserole recipe here: What Ingredients are needed? So even though I “threw this together”, I did remember to measure and if you follow the recipe, I am sure it will be a hit with your family just as it was with mine. And since I have started sharing recipes online, one of my biggest challenges has been to measure while I am cooking so that the recipe I make and the one I share are the same. And I get it! I am that way when it comes to certain things as well. I realize that there are people who need to have exact measurements and follow a recipe to the tee. One of the most wonderful things about cooking is that there are really no set rules. But since we’re being honest, I have also had plenty of failed ones as well! This one was a HUGE HIT with my family! Yay for mom! But I am also being honest when I say that I dream up recipes constantly and have no fear to just try them out! And I am a lover of all things Buffalo Chicken! Sometimes (most of the time actually), they work out like I picture in my head. I will be honest when I say that I had never made this before.
