Fiesta Tater Tot® Casserole

Fiesta Tater Tot® Casserole

We invented this recipe one night after one of us wanted Tater Tot® casserole for supper, while the other wanted Mexican…It’s SUPER easy and SUPER yummy! Baking the Tater Tots® before layering may be unnecessary but we wanted to make sure they had a chance to crisp up. The whole family LOVED this dish! Hope you do too!

Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • ½ cup chopped green onion
  • 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix, divided
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can tomato soup
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed nacho cheese soup (such as Campbell's® Fiesta Nacho Cheese Soup)
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can milk
  • 1 (32 ounce) package frozen bite-size potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots®)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded Mexican cheese blend

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9×13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.

Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in ground beef, green onion, and 1/2 package taco seasoning. Cook and stir mixture until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.

Step 3
Combine remaining taco seasoning mix with tomato soup, nacho cheese soup, and milk in a saucepan; heat soup mixture until just boiling.

Step 4
Layer potato nuggets in the prepared casserole dish.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until potato nuggets begin to crisp, about 10 minutes.

Step 6
Spoon ground beef mixture over potato nuggets; pour in soup mixture.

Step 7
Bake until soup mixture is bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle casserole with Mexican cheese blend; bake until cheese is melted, 5 to 10 minutes.
