Ingredients
◦1 lb ground beef
◦1 small onion, diced finely
◦1 clove garlic, minced
◦1 (4 oz) can Old El Paso diced green chiles
◦1 (1 oz) package Old El Paso 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 Old El Paso red enchilada sauce
◦Toppings: olives, cilantro, sour cream, tomatoes
Instructions
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.
4.Pour mixture into
the prepared 9x13 pan. Arrange tater tots on top of the mixture in a single
layer.
5.Pour the enchilada
sauce on top of the casserole as evenly as you can.
6.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.
7.Top with olives,
cilantro, sour cream, tomatoes when serving if desired.
