Delicious Mexican-inspired Tater Tot taco casserole - a fun twist on taco night using common pantry staples.
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:
  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in frozen corn, black beans, onion, garlic, and taco seasoning mix. Cook and stir for an additional 10 minutes. Let cool slightly before using.
  • In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, about 3/4 of the Mexican cheese blend, and the potato nuggets until well combined.
  • Spread a third of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Add the tater tot mixture and press it down gently to create an even layer. Pour the rest of the enchilada sauce over the potatoes.
  • After baking for 40 minutes, generously sprinkle the remaining cheese atop the casserole and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
