Ground Beef Totchos Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place tater tots in a single layer on a large baking sheet and cook for 30 minutes or until browned and very crisp, stirring once halfway through cooking.
• While tater tots are cooking, cook ground turkey in a large skillet over medium heat until cooked through. Stir in salsa and seasoning and cook for a few minutes more.
• Mound tater tots slightly on the baking sheet and sprinkle with half the cheese; top with turkey mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cheese then top with tomatoes, bell pepper and olives.
• Cook for 10 minutes more or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with green onions and serve with any optional toppings desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425ºF (220°C).
• Spread tater tots out on a sheet tray. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
• Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, Frank's Red Hot Original, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, and salt. Gradually break up beef with a spatula and sauté until beef is fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Place an even layer of tater tots in an 8-inch oven-safe skillet. Top with half of the beef. Sprinkle a layer of cheese. Repeat layering of tater tots, beef, and cheese.
• Lower oven temperature to 375ºF (160°C). Place skillet in oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, until cheese is melted.
• Remove from oven and top with red onion, scallions, and tomatoes. Add a dollop of sour cream and guacamole to the center of the skillet. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Spread refried beans evenly in bottom of baking dish.
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef, onions and jalapeño chile over medium-high heat 7 to 9 minutes, stirring frequently, until beef is brown; drain, and return to skillet. Stir in taco seasoning mix and tomatoes; cook and stir until heated through.
• Spoon beef mixture on top of beans. Sprinkle 1 cup of the cheese over beef. Top with frozen potatoes.
• Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until heated through and potatoes are golden brown. Top with remaining 1 cup cheese. Bake 3 to 4 minutes or until cheese is melted. Let stand 10 minutes. Garnish with pickled jalapeños, olives and green onions. Serve with sour cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spread potato nuggets out onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until nuggets are golden brown and crisp, 22 to 24 minutes.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add water and taco seasoning to beef; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until liquid reduces, about 5 minutes.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Arrange potato nuggets on an oven-proof platter and cover evenly with ground beef; spread Mexican cheese and pepperjack cheese over the top.
• Cook potato nuggets under the broiler until cheese melts, 1 to 3 minutes. Whisk sour cream and lime juice together in a bowl. Top potato nuggets with tomatoes, black olives, jalapenos, avocado, sour cream mixture, scallions, and cilantro, respectively.
