Ingredients

Scale

  1. 1 lb ground beef

  2. 1 packet taco seasoning

  3. 1 cup water

  4. 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

  5. 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained

  6. 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained

  7. 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  8. 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

  9. 32 oz bag frozen tater tots

  10. Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat, then stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.

  • Assemble the Casserole: In your slow cooker, layer the ground beef mixture. Sprinkle on the black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes.

  • Cheese Layer: Mix the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, then sprinkle half over the mixture.

  • Add the Tater Tots: Arrange the tater tots in a single layer on top.

  • Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours.

  • Final Touch: About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the remaining cheese over the tater tots. Cover and cook until the cheese is melted.

 

  • Garnish & Serve: Top with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve warm!

Notes

This casserole can also be made in the oven instead of the slow cooker. Just bake at 375°F for 30 minutes, then add the cheese and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
