  4. Top with a single layer of frozen tater tots, lining them up in neat rows.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the tater tots are golden brown. If necessary, broil for an additional 1 to 3 minutes for more color.

For extra crunch, consider lightly spraying the tater tots with cooking spray before baking. This dish reheats well in the oven or microwave. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze baked portions for up to 2 months.
