OPIE'S CHEESY TATER TOT CASSEROLE



Opie's Cheesy Tater Tot Casserole image

I created this recipe over time in homage to the original from Opie's BBQ in Spicewood, TX. Some things to note: Ore-Ida tater tots have lots of salt and seasoning; typically off-brand do not. I would probably add over a tsp for off-brand tots.
