For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a can of drained and rinsed diced tomatoes to the beef mixture. Feel free to substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version. If you don't have fresh parsley, dried parsley can be used, but reduce the amount to 1 teaspoon. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture or a dash of hot sauce to the cream of mushroom soup mixture. To prevent the tater tots from burning, you can tent the baking dish with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
