Bacon Cheeseburger Tater Tot Casserole ***

I believe I've mentioned once or twice (or a zillion times) that I have a freakish love of tater tots.  I'm always excited to find a recipe that uses them successfully.  This was absolutely perfect.  The cheesy flavor of the tater tots kind of reminds me of loaded baked potato skins.  Just seriously yummy.  Again, nothing mind-blowing, but just simple and tasty.
