Ingredients

1

lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
1

cup chopped onion
2

cans (4.5 oz each) Old El Paso™ chopped green chiles
1

can (10.5 oz) condensed Cheddar cheese soup
1/2

cup sour cream
1/2

teaspoon salt
1 1/2

cups shredded Cheddar cheese (6 oz)
1

bag (32 oz) Ore-Ida™ Tater Tots™ frozen potatoes
2

tablespoons sliced green onions

Steps

1

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
2

In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef and onion over medium-high heat 8 to 9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown; drain. Reduce heat to medium; stir in chiles, soup, sour cream and salt until well blended.
3

Place half of the Tater Tots™ in single layer on bottom of baking dish. Pour beef mixture on top. Top with 1 cup of the Cheddar cheese, then with remaining Tater Tots™, then with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
4

Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until casserole is bubbly and Tater Tots™ are lightly browned. Top with green onions.

Use shredded pepper Jack cheese in place of Cheddar cheese to add some extra zip.
Store leftovers in refrigerator up to 3 days – just reheat and enjoy!
