I know. It’s way too early in the morning to be talking about things like tater tot casseroles.

I’m sorry.

I was sick all weekend – all weekend! – and didn’t have time to get a bunch of yummy things baked and photographed. I made this banana bread crumb cake and it’s delicious and amazing but I couldn’t stop coughing long enough to take pictures. Being sick is the worst.

🍔 Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• salt and pepper
• 1 (15.5 ounce) can sloppy joe sauce
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 16 ounce bag tater tots

👩🏼‍🍳 Instructions

1. Cook beef. Heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Brown ground beef, breaking it up, until no pink remains. Drain, return to pan, and season with salt and pepper.
2. Make sloppy joe mixture. Add sloppy joe sauce and cream of mushroom sauce to the ground beef. Stir until everything is combined.
3. Assemble casserole. Pour mixture into a 9×13-inch pan. Top with sharp cheddar cheese. Arrange tater tots on top.
4. Bake casserole. Bake at 350F for about 25 – 30 minutes or until tater tots are cooked and golden brown. Serve hot!
