Ingredients
– 2 pound package of frozen tater tots
– 1 pound lean ground beef
– 1.5 ounce taco seasoning packet
– 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
– 8 ounces sour cream
– 4 ounces sliced black olives
– 1 pint grape tomatoes, cut in half
– 3 scallions, sliced (green and white parts)
Instructions
1-Prepare the Tater Tots: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until crispy.
2-Cook the Beef: While tots bake, brown ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Add taco seasoning and 3/4 cup water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
3-Combine and Melt: Once tots are done, turn broiler to low and transfer tots to a 9×13 inch baking dish. Top with seasoned beef, sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over beef, then broil until cheese melts (about 1-2 minutes).
4-Add Fresh Toppings: Remove from oven and top with sour cream, sliced olives, tomatoes, and scallions. Serve immediately.
