Storage
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freezer - Freeze leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 months. If you wish to freeze the whole casserole before baking, omit the tater tot layer on top, and then freeze the meat and cheese layers. When you go to bake it, thaw it out, then add the frozen tater tots to bake. This way the bottom of the casserole is thawed, but the tater tots are still frozen on top.
