Notes

If you would like to substitute in your favorite cream soup just omit the flour, milk, Worcestershire, and sour cream.  If you are making the full amount add in 2 cans.  
If you would like to downsize this recipe just cut the ingredient amounts in half except for the tater tots. 
If you would like to make this recipe in the oven, spread meat gravy in a 9x13 casserole dish and top with tater tots.  Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until the tater tots are to your liking.
