Assemble the Casserole: Once the meatloaf is done, remove it from the oven. Carefully spread the frozen tater tots over the meatloaf, arranging them in a single layer.
Top with Cheese Sauce: Pour the creamy cheese sauce over the tater tots, spreading it out evenly. Place the casserole back into the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden and crispy.
Serve and Enjoy: Once the casserole is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. The layers of savory meatloaf, crispy tater tots, and rich cheese sauce are sure to make this dish a family favorite.
Tips:
For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of crispy bacon bits or green onions on top of the casserole before serving.
If you prefer, you can use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter version of the dish.
For a spicier kick, add some chopped jalapeños or hot sauce to the cheese sauce.
