For a richer flavor, try using ground sirloin or a blend of ground beef and Italian sausage. Add a layer of your favorite vegetables, such as corn, peas, or green beans, between the beef and the tater tots for added nutrition. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture or use a spicy cheese blend on top. To prevent the tater tots from becoming soggy, make sure the beef mixture is not too wet before assembling the casserole. This dish can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add about 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. If you don't have cream of mushroom soup, you can substitute cream of chicken or celery soup.
