Fiesta Tater Tot® Casserole image

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!

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • 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.
  • Combine remaining taco seasoning mix with tomato soup, nacho cheese soup, and milk in a saucepan; heat soup mixture until just boiling.
  • Layer potato nuggets in the prepared casserole dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until potato nuggets begin to crisp, about 10 minutes.
  • Spoon ground beef mixture over potato nuggets; pour in soup mixture.
  • 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.

I'm not a big fan of ground beef, so I used ground turkey instead. It turned out just as good.
