Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon Oil
  • 1.5 pounds Ground beef
  • Salt To taste
  • Pepper To taste
  • 2 cloves Garlic Finely minced
  • 1 cup Onion Finely chopped
  • ½ cup Green peppers Roughly chopped
  • 1 can Black beans 15 oz. can, Drained and Rinsed
  • 1 cup Corn Frozen
  • ¾ cup Salsa Mild or spicy
  • 1 can Chopped green chiles 4.5 oz. can, Drained
  • 1 tablespoon Taco seasoning
  • ¾ cup Red enchilada sauce Mild or spicy
  • 1 bag Frozen tater tots 32 oz. bag
  • 2 cups Mexican cheese blend Shredded, Full fat
  • 1-2 tablespoon Green onions Or roughly chopped cilantro, For topping

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic, onion, green peppers and cook until no longer pink. Be sure to crumble the beef while it's cooking.
  • Remove from heat and drain grease.
  • Add black beans, corn, salsa, green chiles, taco seasoning, red enchilada sauce and mix until combined.
  • Spray oil on the inside of a large slow cooker (6 quart or larger).
  • Spread out the meat mixture at the bottom of the crockpot.
  • Sprinkle half the cheese on top of the beef mixture.
  • Arrange tater tots on top.
  • Cover and cook on Low heat for about 3 hours or until tater tots are warmed through.
    Tip: Put a sheet of paper towel in between the pot and the lid while this casserole is cooking. This helps prevent the condensation from the lid to drip onto the tater tots and keeps them from getting soggy!
  • In the final 30 minutes, sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
  • Cover and continue cooking on Low heat until cheese is fully melted.
  • Add toppings of your choice. I added some finely chopped jalapenos, green onions and extra corn. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Read all my tips above.
  • Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave.
