Cost: Recipe $12.28 / $1.54 Serving
Ingredients
- 1 bag (32 ounces) frozen tater tots ($3.28)
- 1 pound ground beef ($4.97)
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix ($0.24)
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded ($2.00)
- 1 can (15 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained ($0.64)
Chicken Mixture
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded ($1.04)
- 1 tablespoon sour cream ($0.06)
- 2 tablespoon salsa ($0.05)
Instructions
- Prep oven. Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with foil or lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray.
- Cook beef. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess grease, stir in the taco seasoning, and set aside.
- Mix chicken. In a small bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sour cream, and salsa until evenly mixed. Set aside.
- Bake tots. Arrange the frozen tater tots in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Assemble. Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tater tots. Scatter the seasoned ground beef over the cheese, followed by the corn and the chicken mixture.
- Finish baking. Return to the oven and bake for 5 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted.
- Serve. Remove from the oven, add desired toppings, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Meat swaps. Use up to 2 cups of any cooked taco-seasoned meat in place of the beef or chicken.
- Cheese options. Fiesta blend, Colby Jack, or Monterey Jack all work well.
- Toppings. Add sour cream, salsa, green onions, black olives, or guacamole after baking.
- Storage. Best served fresh. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days; reheat may soften tots.
- Meatless option. Skip meat, sprinkle taco seasoning over tots before baking, then top with cheese and vegetables.
