Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine corned beef, soup, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and 1 cup of the cheddar cheese. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread the corned beef mixture into the dish in an even layer. Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top, pressing gently into the filling.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, until tater tots are deep golden and the filling is bubbling at the edges.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheese over the tater tots. Switch the oven to broil and cook 1-2 minutes, watching closely, until the cheese is melted and golden in spots. Remove, scatter chives if using, and serve hot.
Notes
If your oven doesn’t have a broiler, add the cheese for the last 5 minutes of baking. The casserole can be assembled up to a day ahead without the tater tots; refrigerate, then top with tots and bake when ready. Leftovers reheat nicely in the oven, though the microwave will soften the topping.
