FAQ:

Can I use fresh potatoes instead of tater tots?
While tater tots provide a crispy texture, you can use thinly sliced potatoes, but the baking time will vary. Be sure to slice the potatoes thinly and bake a bit longer until crispy.

Can I make this casserole in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the casserole up to the point of baking, cover it with foil, and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. When ready to bake, just increase the cooking time by 5-10 minutes.

Can I substitute ground turkey for ground beef?
Absolutely! Ground turkey is a great leaner alternative to ground beef and will work perfectly in this recipe.
