Taco Tater Casserole

ByElina
Servings: 8

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

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray a 9×13 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.
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.
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 9×13 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.
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 when serving if desired.
Recipe Notes

For extra crispy tater tots, bake tater tots for about 10 minutes while preparing the beef mixture.

Raspberry Sour Cream Crumb Bars

Before I start bringing out all of the pumpkin desserts and fall foods, I figured that I would try to hold onto summer for a little bit longer by making a fruit dessert. I mean it is still supposed to be 80 degrees here this week. If fruit bars and hot weather is not the epitome of summer, I am not sure what is (oh and Big Brother is on … uh Hello … That has defined summer for the past 15 years!)

Onto these bars, AH-MAZ-ING!!! I know you might be slightly frightened by the word sour cream in a dessert. Especially when you can see the actual sour cream layer. But fear not, there is plenty of sugar to sweeten that sour cream right up! I brought these bars to our neighbors on all sides of our house. Each one stopped by later that day telling me how this was the best fruit bar that they have ever tasted! And honestly, I think that I agree.
