Tips:

  • Use frozen tater tots for best results. Fresh or homemade tater tots may not hold their shape as well in the casserole.
  • Be generous with the cheese. A good melty cheese, like cheddar or mozzarella, will help to hold the casserole together and make it extra gooey.
  • Add some cooked protein to the casserole, such as ground beef, sausage, or chicken, for a more hearty meal.
  • For a vegetarian version of the casserole, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and add some chopped vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, or zucchini.
  • Serve the casserole hot out of the oven with a dollop of sour cream or ranch dressing.
