Tater Tot Taco Casserole

A hearty casserole combining ground beef, taco flavors, and crispy tater tots, perfect for family dinners.

Ingredients

  • cooking spray (1 pinch)
  • ground beef (1 pound)
  • frozen whole-kernel corn with red and green bell peppers (1 bag)
  • black beans (1 can)
  • onion (1 small)
  • garlic (1 clove)
  • taco seasoning mix (1 packet)
  • shredded Mexican cheese blend (1 bag)
  • frozen bite-sized potato nuggets (Tater Tots) (1 package)
  • enchilada sauce (1 can)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until completely browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add in the frozen corn, black beans, onion, garlic, and taco seasoning mix to the browned beef; cook and stir for another 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Combine the ground beef mixture in a large bowl with about 3/4 of the Mexican cheese blend and the potato nuggets; stir to combine.
  4. Pour about 1/3 of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add the tater tot mixture to the baking dish; lightly pat the mixture down into a solid, even layer. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the potatoes.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the casserole and return to the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5 minutes more.
