Steps:

• Directions: Preheat oven to 350F degrees. In a large skillet, over medium heat, brown ground beef along with onion and garlic. Once browned, drain excess grease then return meat to skillet.

Gently stir until the tater tots are coated with sauce. Turn off heat. Transfer mixture into a 9x13 (ungreased) baking dish. Make sure it is evenly spread out. Sprinkle cheese all over tater tot mixture. Top with sliced black olives. Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes. Cheese should be melted and tater tots should be golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, taco seasoning mix, frozen Mexican-style corn, and black beans to the ground beef; cook and stir another 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Combine the ground beef mixture in a large bowl with about 3/4 of the Mexican cheese blend and the tater tots; stir to combine.
• Pour about 1/3 of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add the tater tot mixture to the baking dish; lightly pat the mixture down into a solid, even layer. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the tater tot layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining Mexican cheese over the casserole and return to oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5 minutes more.

Steps:

• Place half the Tater Tots in bottom of 5-qt. slow cooker. In a large skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat until no longer pink, 5-6 minutes, breaking into crumbles. Drain.
