Tater Tot Pizza Casserole-lower Fat

Amanda Beth's Note:

We like the original version of this dish, which I found in one of the magazines you get at the supermarket checkout. This is a lower-fat version. If made as posted, each serving is 8 ww points. The original version had 490 calories and 30g of fat, so this is much healthier. My DH and DS really love it too!
