While famous fast food chains may have started as burger joints and fried chicken stands to satisfy lunch and dinner crowds, most now offer a full breakfast menu. McDonald's egg McMuffin and crispy hash browns won American hearts and tummies early on but Sonic is a fast food chain with a seriously underrated breakfast menu worth exploring. We tasted and ranked 12 Sonic breakfast items and found that the SuperSonic breakfast burrito is the item worth ordering every single time.

According to Ksenia Prints of At the Immigrant's Table, tater tots are one of the most commonly underestimated snacks in the frozen food aisle. On their own, these little puffy versions of potatoes resemble clouds with a hard, crispy outer shell. But there's no shortage of creative ways to use frozen tater tots - they are perfect in place of tortilla chips as a Midwestern version of nachos, or simply eaten on their own as a snack or as a side with a good burger.

Chicken pot pie may have its roots in medieval England, but it's now a favorite in households across America. While you can always pick up a store-bought chicken pot pie, making it from scratch is so much more rewarding. Not only can you take easy shortcuts when making homemade versions, you can also add ingredients and make swaps that'll really bring the recipe to the next level.

The cheesy jalapeño popper tater tot casserole brings together crispy tater tots, creamy cheeses, smoky bacon, and spicy jalapeños for an elevated comfort food experience.

The best way to shape homemade tater tots is by dampening your hands with water to prevent sticky potato from adhering to your fingers.
