This is a pretty easy casserole but it's SO good. It's basically like eating a sloppy joe. Meat and sauce, cheese and instead of hamburger buns, tater tots! There are a dozen versions floating around, some one layer, others with other add ins, but this is how we do it and keep it simple:
Ingredients:
1 32 oz pkg of tater tots (for some reason there is the exact right amount for a two layer 8x8 dish)
2 cups shredded cheddar
1 can sloppy joe sauce (or equivalent homemade)
1 lb (give or take a bit) ground beef
Brown the ground beef and drain...
Add the sauce and heat up as normal...
Meanwhile, in a greased 8x8 dish, line the bottom with tater tots...
Pour the sloppy joe mix over the top...
Put 1 cup of the shredded cheese over the mixture...
Cover that with another layer of tots...
And finish off by topping it with the remaining cup of shredded cheese...
Place in 350 degree oven for 45-55 minutes or until cheese is golden and tots are browned...
And here it is out of the oven. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to cool down a bit...
Dish it up and serve! It's so good and makes for really great leftovers the next day. It's not something you'd eat every day of course but hey, for some nice comfort food or a quick meal, you can't beat it. Very easy and freezes well too!
Stay safe and eat well!
