2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or as needed
1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (4.5 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
1 cup diced green bell pepper
½ cup mild salsa
½ large tomato, diced
3 tablespoons mild nacho cheese sauce
1 pound ground beef
¼ cup mild taco sauce
1 (16 ounce) package frozen bite-sized potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots®)
