Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 0.6667 cup Water
- 1 can (15 ounces) Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Salsa
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 bag (32 ounces) Frozen tater tots
- 3 stalks Scallions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbled, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Step 3
Stir in the taco seasoning and 2/3 cup water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens.
Step 4
Add the black beans and salsa to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture with sour cream and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until evenly mixed.
Step 6
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread the beef and sour cream mixture evenly into the bottom of the dish.
Step 7
Layer the frozen tater tots evenly on top of the beef mixture.
Step 8
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the tater tots.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Step 10
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Step 11
Top with chopped scallions and cilantro, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
