Notes
Pro Tip: Don't skip covering the casserole with foil for the first part of baking! This helps the beef mixture stay moist while the tater tots start cooking. The total cook time should be around 35-40 minutes in a preheated oven. Removing the foil for the final bake ensures those cheesy tater tots get perfectly golden and crispy on top.
