Easy Sloppy Joe Tater Tot (Printer-Friendly)

Comfort food with flavorful beef, tangy sauce, melted cheddar, and crispy tater tots in one dish.

# What You'll Need:

→ Meat

01 - 2 pounds ground beef

→ Sauce

02 - 15-ounce can Manwich Sloppy Joe sauce

→ Dairy

03 - 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

→ Frozen Foods

04 - 32-ounce bag frozen tater tots

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
02 - In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until fully browned. Drain excess grease.
03 - Add the Sloppy Joe sauce to the cooked beef and stir to combine. Then mix in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
04 - Spread the beef mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top.
05 - Arrange the tater tots in a single layer over the cheese. Bake for 45 minutes or until the tater tots are golden brown.
06 - For extra crispy tater tots, broil for 3 to 4 minutes while watching carefully to prevent burning.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Use lean ground beef or ground turkey as a lower-fat alternative.
02 - Drain grease from cooked beef to reduce excess fat content.
03 - Broiling tater tots at the end enhances crispiness but requires close attention.
