CHEESEBURGER TATER TOT CASSEROLE


 This was fine. It was more like taco casserole, so I have no idea where the stupid title came from. I wouldn't make this again because it's just not that special. It's tacos with tater tots on top. It's not bad, by any means, but if I'm going to make a tater tot casserole, I am going to make the really good kind with mushrooms, etc.

CHEESEBURGER TATER TOT CASSEROLE

By Sarah Fennel, Broma Bakery

Ingredients

  • For the bottom layer:
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ large onion, diced
  • 1 pound 90% ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup half and half
  • ½ cup tomato sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes



  • For the top layer:
  • 1 ½ cups Mexican blend shredded cheese
  • 1 (32-ounce) bag frozen tater tots
  • Sour cream, for garnish
  • Wild cherry tomatoes, for garnish
  • Green onions, for garnish


Preheat oven to 400°F.

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat butter and onion until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.

Turn heat to medium high and add in ground beef, garlic, and taco seasoning, stirring occasionally to break up the beef. Cook until lightly browned and no longer pink.

Turn heat back to medium and stir in tomato paste and cornstarch until fully mixed in. Add in half and half, tomato sauce, salt, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, until sauce has thickened and begins to bubble and pull away from the sides of the skillet.

Remove from heat and top with cheese. Arrange frozen tater tots in concentric circles around the skillet. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until taters are golden brown and cheese is fully melted.

Top with sour cream, cherry tomatoes, and green onions, and serve immediately!
