Taco Tater Tot Casserole

Serves 6-8

Ingredients

• 1 pound of ground beef
• 1 teaspoon of taco seasoning
• 8 ounces of corn kernels
• 8 ounces of black beans, drained
• 1 tablespoon of sofrito (occasional)
• 1 cup of Mexican blend cheese
• 16 ounces of tater tots

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Over medium high heat, add in ground beef, taco seasoning, and sofrito. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until beef is browned, stirring occasionally. Drain excess grease. Add in beans, corn, and cheese.
3. Add meat mixture to a 13×9 casserole pan.
4. Add the tater tots on top of the meat mixture in the casserole pan.
5. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until tater tots are cooked and slightly golden.

Tip: I don’t recommend saving this recipe for leftovers as the tater tots will tend to get soggy overnight in the fridge and let’s just say it will not be as yummy as it was the first night.
