Tater Tot Casserole is Make-Ahead Magic
As with many casseroles, this recipe is a great dish to make up on Sunday and bake for a filling mid-week meal. I prefer to make each part separately, then stir together on the night I need it. This keeps the tater tots from getting soggy.
- First you cook your bacon and brown your ground beef. Season well. Save in an airtight container in your fridge.
- Then when you’re ready to bake, simply mix all the ingredients together and layer in your favorite glass baking dish.
- Finally, garnish with all of your favorite cheeseburger toppings for that burger-joint flavor!
