We love casserole recipes and this Sloppy Joe Tator Tot Casserole is a family favorite. Loaded with flavor, this casserole is the perfect weeknight meal.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and spray a 9x13 baking pan with a non-stick cooking spray.
Brown ground beef with diced red bell pepper anddiced yellow onion in a large skillet over medium high heat. Break up the ground beef as it cooks until the vegetables are soft. Drain off any grease from the pan.
Stir in minced garlic, tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a low simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat.
Spread the mixture into the bottom of the prepared 9x13 baking pan.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Layer the frozen tater tots evenly on top.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the tater tots.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the tater tots are golden brown.
