I'm allergic to dairy, so I'm not sure if I can make this recipe. Is there a way to substitute the cheese?

I'm not sure about this recipe. It seems like it would be really heavy.

This casserole was a disaster! The tater tots didn't cook all the way through, and the cheese was rubbery. I won't be making this again.

This was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try using mild salsa next time.

I've made this casserole several times now, and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover taco meat.

I'm not a huge fan of Mexican food, but this casserole was surprisingly good! The flavors all came together really nicely. I especially liked the crispy tater tots on top.

This was a hit at our Cinco de Mayo party! I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it was still delicious. The tater tots got nice and crispy on top, and the cheese melted perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
