  3. Pour your mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
  4. Carefully arrange the frozen tater tots on top of the mixture in a single layer.
Baking

  2. Once golden, remove the casserole and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Serving
  1. Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley if desired.

Notes

Consider adding cooked ground beef or turkey for more protein, or a dash of hot sauce for heat. For vegetarian options, swap hot dogs with plant-based sausage.
