Time For My Personal Tips!
Tip 1: For extra flavor, sauté the onions with minced garlic before adding the ground beef.
Tip 2: Experiment with different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or pepper jack, for a unique twist.
Tip 3: If you prefer a crispier top, broil the casserole for a few minutes after baking until the tater tots are golden brown .
Here Are Some Ways to Add Extra Flavor to the Meat As You Brown It:-
- Try adding chili powder, cayenne, Italian seasoning, black pepper, onion powder, or any other spices you enjoy for an extra kick of flavor.
- To make the casserole leaner, you can substitute ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, or pork..
