Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb lean ground beef (or turkey)
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 cup chopped carrot
1 cup corn, frozen
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 cups prepared salsa
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1 lb tater tots
3 cups grated cheese

Steps:

  • In a hot skillet scramble fry the onion, minced beef and garlic - breaking up all lumps.
  • Reduce the heat to 50% and add the vegetables, make sure they are chopped rather small (mexi-beans or kidney beans can be added if you so wish to this stage) and taco seasoning, fry for another 2-4 of minutes (until the taco seasoning become fragrant).
  • Pour meat mixture into a greased 20x20 inch ceramic/pyrex casserole dish with high sides.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the salsa, sour cream and creamed cheese (which has been well softened) and pour over the meat.
  • Place tater tots over creamy mixture in a single layer all over (my son loves this job). Top with cheese (he likes this job too).
  • Bake at 375oF (180oC) for 30 minutes.
  • Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

This was a great recipe! I used ground beef instead of turkey and it was still delicious. I also added some diced jalapenos for a little spice. My family loved it.

This was amazing! The cheese was gooey and melted perfectly. The taco tots were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I will definitely be making this again and again.

I made this last night and it was delicious! I used a little less cheese than the recipe called for and it was still plenty cheesy. I also added some chopped green onions and diced tomatoes. My husband and I both loved it.
