Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
| Frozen mini potato puffs (tater tots), unthawed | 1 (28–32 ounce) bag |
| Shredded cheddar cheese (divided) | 2 cups |
| Condensed cream of mushroom soup | 1 (10.5-ounce) can |
| Whole milk (or 2% milk) | 1 1/2 cups |
Step-By-Step Directions:
-
Preheat and prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch glass casserole dish with cooking spray or butter.
-
Make sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese, reserving 1/2 cup for the topping.
-
Combine with potato puffs: Gently fold the unthawed frozen potato puffs into the cheesy soup mixture until evenly coated.
-
Transfer and top: Pour the potato puff mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spread into an even layer, and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
-
Bake: Bake uncovered for 45 to 55 minutes, until the edges are bubbling, the center is hot, and the top is deeply golden and crisp. (Optionally broil on high for 1 to 3 minutes for extra crispiness).
-
Rest and serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes to allow the casserole to set before scooping and serving warm.
