While classic, this Crock Pot Tator Tot Casserole is also wonderfully versatile.

For a different flavor profile, try swapping some of the 3 cups of shredded cheddar cheese for Monterey Jack or a Colby blend to introduce new dimensions. Don't have cream of mushroom soup? A similar cream-based soup could work as a substitute.
