Taco Tot Casserole

 

Taco Tot Casserole

(8-12 servings)

Ingredients:

2 lb. Ground Chuck

6 tbsp. Taco Seasoning, divided

2 cups Onion, chopped

1 can (15 oz.) Black Beans, drained and rinsed

2 cups Mexican Blend Cheese, shredded

2 lb. Tater Tots

Directions:

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground chuck and onion with 4 tbsp. of taco seasoning.  When meat is no longer pink, add the beans and stir to combine and heat through.  Spread the mixture in a greased 9x13 baking dish.  Top evenly with the cheese.  In a medium bowl, place tater tots and spray with nonstick cooking spray.  Toss now with remaining taco seasoning.  Place these tots on top of the cheese to cover the entire dish.  Put in a pre-heated oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until tater tots are crispy.  Serve with your usual taco toppings like sour cream, diced tomatoes, cubed avocado and salsa.

Notes:              To make this dish a little healthier, you could use ground chicken or turkey instead of the ground chuck.
