Taco Tater Tot Casserole

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 small onion, diced finely
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles
• 1 (1 oz) package taco seasoning mix
• 1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 (12 oz) package frozen corn
• 3 cups shredded mexican blend cheese
• 1 (28 oz) package frozen tater tots
• 1 (10 oz) can red enchilada sauce
• toppings: olives, cilantro, sour cream, tomatoes, avocado

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. For extra crispy tater tots, bake tater tots for about 10 minutes while preparing the beef mixture - otherwise prepare as follows.
2. In a large skillet, brown the beef and the onion. Add the garlic towards the end of the browning process and cook for 1 minute. Drain.
3. Add the green chiles, taco seasoning mix, black beans, corn, and 2 cups of the cheese. Stir together to combine. If your skillet isn’t big enough you may need to stir it together in a bowl. Pour mixture into the prepared 9x13 pan. Arrange tater tots on top of the mixture in a single layer. Pour the enchilada sauce on top of the casserole as evenly as you can.
4. Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes or until tater tots are nice and crispy. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese on top and place back in the oven for 2-3 minutes or until cheese has melted. Top with olives, cilantro, sour cream, tomatoes, avocado when serving if desired.
