We invented this recipe one night after one of us wanted Tater Tot® casserole for supper, while the other wanted Mexican...It's SUPER easy and SUPER yummy! Baking the Tater Tots® before layering may be unnecessary but we wanted to make sure they had a chance to crisp up. The whole family LOVED this dish! Hope you do too!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in ground beef, green onion, and 1/2 package taco seasoning. Cook and stir mixture until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.
- Combine remaining taco seasoning mix with tomato soup, nacho cheese soup, and milk in a saucepan; heat soup mixture until just boiling.
- Layer potato nuggets in the prepared casserole dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until potato nuggets begin to crisp, about 10 minutes.
- Spoon ground beef mixture over potato nuggets; pour in soup mixture.
- Bake until soup mixture is bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle casserole with Mexican cheese blend; bake until cheese is melted, 5 to 10 minutes.

lk@aol.comThis casserole is a great way to use up leftover taco meat. I usually make a big batch of tacos on Sunday and then use the leftovers to make this casserole on Monday. It's a quick and easy meal that my whole family loves.
