baked Tater Tot Casserole After a big coupon-clipping group shopping trip, one of my friends sent me home with a massive bag of frozen tater tots to help keep my groceries cool in the car until I got home. I typically don't eat tater tots unless I've got all my nieces and nephews with me, so I had to get creative to use these up. This tater tot casserole hit the spot. I will be making this a lot in the coming days. Not because I have tater tot cooling bag, but because it's that good! You've got to try this delicious, comforting, easy-to-make meal!

You can use any pound of ground meat for this. I used mostly ground turkey and a bit of chorizo.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 35 minutes

Total Time: 45 minutes

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients:

1 lb ground meat
1/2 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bell pepper, sliced
1 tsp taco seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
10 ounces condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup shredded cheese
2 cups frozen tater tots

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375F. Cook ground meat in a large pan over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Drain fat.

Add onions, garlic and peppers. Stir and cook until they are softened, a few minutes. Add taco seasoning and salt/pepper to taste.

Transfer meat mixture to a lightly greased 9 inch baking dish. Spread evenly. Top with mushroom soup.

Sprinkle 2/3 of the cheese on top.

Top with tater tots. Bake in oven for 30 minutes.

Switch to broil for about 5 minutes until top is super crispy. Remove and sprinkle top a bit of salt, pepper, and remaining cheese. Serve.
