Tater Tot Taco Casserole

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 packet taco seasoning
1 (16oz) bag of frozen Mexican-style corn
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 bag shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 (16oz) package frozen tater tots
1 (12oz) can enchilada sauce


Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.

Cook the ground beef in a skillet until completely browned. Add onion, garlic, taco seasoning, corn, and black beans.  Cook and stir another 10 minutes.  Set aside to cool slightly.

In a large bowl, combine ground beef mixture with about 3/4 of cheese and the tater tots.  Stir until mixed together.

Pour about 1/3 of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of the baking dish.  Add tater tot mixture, lightly pat down into a solid even layer.  Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the tater tot layer.

Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes.  Sprinkle remaining cheese over the casserole and return to oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly (about 5 minutes).



When I made this I forgot to buy the corn & it still turned out really good!!
