OPIE'S CHEESY TATER TOT CASSEROLE
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.

Steps:
- Mix everything but the Colby cheese and french's onions in a large bowl (make sure tots are still frozen so they don't break apart).
- Scoop mixture into one 9x13 pan.
- Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for one hour.
- Top with Colby cheese and then French's onions and bake for another 5-10 minutes until onions are golden brown.
Tips:
- Use frozen tater tots. Frozen tater tots are already cooked, so they will cook through quickly in the casserole. If you use fresh tater tots, you will need to pre-cook them before adding them to the casserole.
- Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses will give the casserole a rich and flavorful taste. You can also add other cheeses, such as Monterey Jack or pepper Jack, to taste.
- Add some vegetables. Diced onions, peppers, or broccoli are all great additions to this casserole. Vegetables will add flavor and nutrition to the dish.
- Don't overcook the casserole. The casserole is done when the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tater tots are heated through. Overcooking the casserole will make the tater tots mushy.
Conclusion:
Opie's Cheesy Tater Tot Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to take to potlucks and parties. With its combination of crispy tater tots, melted cheese, and savory seasonings, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
