Notes

Crispy tater tots - Bake your tater tots a little longer than the bag suggests. You want them to be extra crispy to hold up to the toppings.

Drain grease - Make sure to drain off any extra grease once the beef has been cooked.

Serve immediately - I recommend serving the totchos right after they have cooked. You want them nice and warm when serving.
