• 8 bake 40 minutes or until bubbly and tater tots are slightly browned.
• 9 note: this recipe easily doubles and you can make two. i freeze the extra one with the tater tots on top and then remove and thaw in fridge. bake as directed above. also, i sometimes add an extra can of soup and an extra 1/4 cup of milk for a thinner consistency. this would be a personal preference. also, i add approximately 1/2 tsp of dried thyme and 1/2 tsp of black pepper for one casserole - adaptable to your taste.
