- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Arrange frozen tater tots in a single layer on top.
- Bake for 50 minutes or until the tater tots are crispy and the casserole is bubbling.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese over the top and bake for an additional 5 minutes until melted. Let rest a few minutes before serving.
