Leftover Meatloaf Tater Tot Casserole

This is a versatile recipe designed to use up leftover meatloaf in a tasty one-dish meal. Frozen tater tots, onions and vegetables are coated in a sour cream/condensed soup sauce with meatloaf pieces pressed into the surface. A cheese topping keeps the meatloaf moist during cooking and adds crispness, but ketchup or french-fried onions could also be used.
