A hearty and easy-to-make casserole featuring baked beans, sausages, and crispy tater tots, topped with melted cheese.
Preheat your oven to 450°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and crispy tater tots.
Pour the canned baked beans into a casserole dish.
Use a medium-sized dish to ensure even layering.
Slice the smoked sausages into bite-sized pieces and mix them with the baked beans in the dish.
Ensure the sausages are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Spread the frozen tater tots evenly over the sausage and bean mixture.
Arrange the tots in a single layer for maximum crispiness.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown.
Check halfway through to ensure the tots are not overbrowning.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the baked tater tots and return to the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Let the cheese melt completely for a gooey topping.
Serve the casserole hot and enjoy with your favorite condiments or sides.
Pair with a fresh salad or steamed veggies for a balanced meal.
