Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter.

Ensuring the dish is well-greased prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.📌

In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, condensed cheddar cheese soup, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

For an even richer garlic flavor, you can briefly sauté the minced garlic in a little butter before adding it to the cream mixture.📌

Stir in 1/2 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup of the grated Parmesan cheese into the cream mixture.

Reserving some cheese for the top creates a nice golden crust.📌

Add the frozen Tater Tots to the cheese mixture and gently toss until they are evenly coated.

Do not thaw the Tater Tots beforehand, as they will get soggy. Adding them frozen helps maintain their crispiness.📌

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.

Ensure the Tater Tots are in a relatively even layer for consistent cooking and browning.📌

Bake for 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the Tater Tots are starting to brown.

If the Tater Tots are browning too quickly, you can loosely cover the dish with aluminum foil.📌

Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.

For an extra crispy top layer, you can optionally broil for the last minute or two, watching carefully to prevent burning.📌
