Notes
Keep the tater tots in the freezer until right before you add them to the casserole. As a result, they’ll stay nice and crispy in the oven. Nobody enjoys mushy tater tot casserole, right?
To make serving the hamburger casserole easier, be sure to lightly grease the casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
The reason that this meal is sometimes known as tater tot hotdish is that it tastes best when it is served immediately. After it sits for a while it can get a little mushy.
Refrigerate any leftovers and use them within 5 days.
