Great tasting and easy to make. Only substitute I made was to use cream of chicken soup instead because my husband can't have mushrooms.

For me it's all about texture. With that being said, could you bake this in an oven so that Tater Tots could get a little crispy?

This was really good. The tater tots sort of dissolved into a cheesy layer on the top. Good winter meal!
