When I first made this casserole I was floored with how it turned out. I thought that for sure it might be a little strange. No way! It turned our so delicious that my family requests it all of the time. It’s so easy to make too. My husband will actually make it when it’s his turn to cook for a change. He’s not a gourmet chef, but he can make this casserole almost better than I can. I don’t think he puts enough cheese in it, but that’s just me! I am a cheese-aholic. I will sprinkle cheese on top of the tater tots for the last 5 minutes of baking,. This turns out perfect and makes it even yummier!
