Instruction

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray, and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat add ground beef, onion, and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently until meat is cooked through and onions are translucent about 8 minutes. Stir in taco seasoning and water, and cook until liquid is reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in frozen corn, black beans, sour cream, salsa, and cheddar cheese until combined and no sour cream streaks remain and then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour half of the tater tots into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, and top with ground beef mixture. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheese over top, followed by the rest of tater tots.
  • Bake for 40 minutes, and then top with remaining 1 cup shredded cheese, and bake 5-10 more minutes, or until bubbly and tater tots on top of casserole are golden.
