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
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
