Instructions:
-
Preheat and Grease: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and there’s no pink remaining. Drain any excess fat.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the cooked ground beef, drained sweet corn, nacho cheese soup, and taco seasoning. Make sure everything is well combined.
-
Assemble the Casserole: Spread the ground beef mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
-
Top with Tater Tots: Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the ground beef mixture, creating a complete and even coverage.
-
Bake until Golden Brown: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tater tots are crispy and golden brown.
-
Add and Melt Cheese: Take the casserole out of the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Take the casserole out of the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. You can garnish with chopped green onions or parsley for an extra touch (optional).
