Very delicious casserole that even the kids will love. You can use any noodles really or mix together leftovers you have. Also, you can use ground chicken or turkey instead of beef and neufchatel cream cheese instead of regular cream cheese to make it a bit healthier. You can prepare this up to 24 hours ahead of time and backs for an hour.

This casserole is a bit heavy for my taste. I think I'll try a lighter version next time.

I'm not a huge fan of casseroles, but this one is an exception. It's so flavorful and satisfying. I especially love the crispy tater tots on top.

I love that this casserole can be made ahead of time. It's perfect for busy weeknights. I usually make it on the weekend, and then I just reheat it during the week. It's a lifesaver!

This casserole is so versatile. You can easily customize it to your liking. For example, you could use different types of cheese, or you could add some cooked chicken or ground beef. You could also omit the tater tots if you're looking for a healthie
