If you’re like us, we love trying new recipes and that’s what I’m here for! We tried the recipes, we make sure they’re good, and we share them with you so that you have something yummy to feed your family. Hey y’all, I’m Mandy and this is Mandy in The Making. We’re going to change things up and start out with Subby Supper this week. Subby Supper just stands for subscriber supper, meaning one of my subscribers has sent in one of their family favorite recipes and we’re going to give it a try. This week, the Subby Supper was inspired by one of my most recent videos which was a tater tot casserole video. I shared four different tater tot casseroles that we’ve made in the past and so, I’m guessing Jay saw that and said, “Oh, she hasn’t tried this one!” So, he sent us this Taco Tater Tot Casserole. It’s really simple, it has really flavorful ingredients, and it comes from Jay. Jay is in California and he said that he’s been following us for about a year and a half. He loves our relationship and he said that he would like to see a little tutorial on how to grow a small garden because we do have a small garden this year. I don’t know that we’re ready to give a tutorial on that yet, Jay. We’re still trying to figure it out ourselves, but maybe next year! So, thank you, Jay, for watching and thank you for sending in this recipe. We’re excited to give it a try. Let’s get started!
