In a large bowl, combine the cooked venison, 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Pour the venison mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Top with 3 cups frozen tater tots, arranged in a single layer.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
