Cowboy Casserole

Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium Onion, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Chili powder
• 1 can (15 oz) Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup Corn, frozen or canned
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 bag (32 oz) Frozen tater tots
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Stir in the chili powder, black beans, and corn. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
5. Transfer the beef mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread evenly.
6. Top the beef mixture with shredded cheddar cheese.
7. Evenly distribute the frozen tater tots over the cheese layer.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
