Notes

Use already seasoned frozen tater tots for best results. Preheat oven and prepare dish while tots thaw. This casserole can be assembled up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated. Leftovers last 3–4 days in the fridge and freeze well for up to 3 months. Reheat at 350°F for 20–25 minutes or until heated through.
