Taco Tater Tot Bake
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 (16 ounce) bag frozen whole-kernel corn with red and green bell peppers
  • 1 (12 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
  • 1 (12 ounce) bag shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen bite-sized potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots®)
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can enchilada sauce
Instructions
1
Firstly, preheat your oven to a temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or 190 degrees Celsius). Next, take a 9x13-inch baking dish and spray it with cooking spray to prevent the casserole from sticking.
2
Now, cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until it reaches a completely browned state, taking around 5 to 7 minutes. Add in frozen corn, black beans, onion, garlic, and taco seasoning mix to the ground beef; cook and stir for another 10 minutes. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
3
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef mixture with approximately three-quarters of the Mexican cheese blend and potato nuggets; stir to combine.
4
Pour about one-third of the enchilada sauce into the prepared baking dish. Add the tater tot mixture to the baking dish; gently press the mixture down into a solid, even layer. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the potatoes.
5
Finally, bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the casserole and return it to the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, taking around 5 minutes more.
