Note

I use simple store bought tater tots, but you can also buy them infused with a cheesy filling. I don't find this necessary due to the fact that cheese is being added to the casserole anyway. You can make the tater tots from scratch as well. This creates a lot of extra work, however. Certain spices of my choice are included in the recipe, but you can use the ones of your choice. I love the medium Italian sausage but feel free to use the sausage of your choice.
