I have been making this recipe since I was little and entered it in the food show for 4-H. It is similar to other recipes on here, but you do not cook your beef first.

Tips:

Use frozen tater tots. Frozen tater tots are easier to work with and will hold their shape better in the casserole.
Shred the cheese yourself. Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly.
Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of cheeses will give the casserole a more complex flavor.
Don't overcook the casserole. The casserole is done when the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tater tots are golden brown.
Serve the casserole immediately. The casserole is best when served hot out of the oven.
