Notes
Can I freeze this vegetarian tater tot casserole?
I haven't tried freezing this recipe, but I think it would work well. It would be a delicious make-ahead meal that you could pop in the oven. I would, however, package the cheese, olives, and cilantro in their own container, since you add those ingredients at the end.
Do I need to thaw the tater tots for this casserole?
Nope! And actually, I wouldn't recommend it. The tots would get mushy and start to fall apart if you let them thaw too much. Just put them in the freezer. They will cook that way perfectly.
