10. Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture.
You can substitute the cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken or cheddar soup if preferred.
For a spicier version, add a dash of chili powder or a can of diced green chilies.
Ensure the tater tots are not overlapping to achieve maximum crispiness.
Feel free to experiment by adding other vegetables like peas or carrots to the filling.
