Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish and spread it evenly.
Arrange the frozen tater tots on top in a single layer.

Baking

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley if desired.
