Notes
- Frozen tater tots should be added directly from the freezer; no thawing required.
- For a more traditional hotdish, substitute 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables for the corn and green beans.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder to the beef mixture for extra flavor.
- For an extra creamy filling, stir 1/2 cup sour cream into the mixture before baking.
- Assemble the casserole up to 24 hours in advance, stopping before adding the tater tots and cheese. Refrigerate until ready to bake.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Freeze baked or unbaked hotdish for up to 3 months.
