Easy BBQ Tater Tot Casserole

This single pan is just enough to feed us, as long as I add in a salad and maybe some other side like a homemade bread or something. There are never, and I mean, never any leftovers. We clean it right out. If there happen to be more people eating with us, like one of the boy’s girlfriends, I just make two and save the headache. I’d rather have leftovers than not enough! Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at The Weary Chef:

If you love BBQ sauce as much as I do, there is no doubt you are going to enjoy this yummy recipe.

 

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small onion, diced
20 ounces Jennie-O ground turkey, A pound of turkey or beef is fine.
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon Frank’s Red hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup frozen corn, (or 10 ounces can whole kernel corn drained)
15 ounces can pinto beans, drained
1 cup Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
28 ounces bag frozen tatertots

 

 

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9×13″ baking dish with cooking spray, and set aside.

 

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, ground meat, chili powder, hot sauce, and salt. Stir and cook until meat is almost cooked through. Stir in corn and drained beans, and cook a couple more minutes until hot.

 

Pour meat mixture into the prepared baking dish. Drizzle BBQ sauce over the meat, and spread shredded cheese over that. Arrange tater tots in an even layer over the top of the cheese.

 

Bake uncovered in preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until potatoes are golden brown. (I like to bake mine a little longer so the tots get pretty crispy on top.)
