For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the ground beef while it's browning. Feel free to substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or sausage for a different flavor profile. If you prefer a spicier casserole, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the soup mixture or use pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar. For a vegetarian option, omit the ground beef and add a can of drained and rinsed black beans or a medley of your favorite chopped vegetables. To prevent the Tater Tots from becoming soggy, you can bake them in a single layer on a baking sheet for about 10 minutes before adding them to the casserole.
