Tips:

  • Utilize a large skillet to brown the ground beef, ensuring it's in a single layer to promote even cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan with tater tots, as this will prevent them from getting crispy.
  • To save time, use pre-shredded cheddar cheese.
  • For a cheesy, gooey casserole, top it with extra shredded cheese before baking.
  • Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your preference. For a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
