Ingredients
•
cooking spray
•
1 pound ground beef
•
1 (16 ounce) bag frozen whole-kernel corn with red and green bell peppers
•
1 (12 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
•
1 small onion, diced
•
1 clove garlic, minced
•
1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
•
1 (12 ounce) bag shredded Mexican cheese blend

1 (16 ounce) package frozen bite-sized potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots®)
•

Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2
Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add in frozen corn, black beans, onion, garlic, and taco seasoning mix to ground beef; cook and stir another 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
3
Combine ground beef mixture in a large bowl with about 3/4 of the Mexican cheese blend and the potato nuggets; stir to combine.
4
Pour about 1/3 of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add the tater tot mixture to the baking dish; lightly pat the mixture down into a solid, even layer. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the potatoes.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Sprinkle remaining cheese over the casserole and return to the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5 minutes more.
