I've been making tater tot, cheese, and ham in a crock pot for company potlucks for six years now. It's definitely not a cheap meal to make - almost 5 pounds of tots, almost 2 pounds of cheese, about a dozen eggs...I follow that recipe loosely - but it seems to be appreciated. It took approximately 30 minutes for it to disappear during the morning portion of today's potluck. I got to haul my crockpot out of there almost immediately. As a nice side effect, it kept the car very warm this morning on the ride into work.
I realized that I didn't post pictures with the recipe before. So here they are. All the cheese, tots, ham, pepper, and onion ready to go except for... [Image]
...eggs. Lots of eggs. I mixed a bit of milk in as well. I didn't use the 12th egg - if you're counting - as it had a crack in it. I don't think anyone noticed. [Image]
After a night of cooking on low. You can't see it, but it's bubbling. Maybe next time I should take a video. The edges were particularly crispy and tasty. [Image]
And the full pot, so you have some idea of what disappeared so fast. Total calories in that pot?
Eggs: 11x78 = 858
4 pounds tater tots = 26 x 4/5 x 160 = 3328
24 ounces of ham = 75 x 24 = 1800
1.5 pounds of cheddar = 113 x 24 = 2712
1 green pepper = 24
1 onion = 44
1 cup skim milk = 83
Total: 8849 calories
