  • Meanwhile layer tater tots in the bottom of prepared casserole dish in a single layer. Bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Spread half the cheese over the baked tater tots. Spoon the thickened hamburger mixture on to the tater tots and top with the remaining tater tots. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until the tater tots are crispy and the cheese is melted.
