Easy Tator Tot Taco Casserole

Let’s face it, sometimes it’s hard to come up with meals to cook when the temperature outside is 100.  The last thing you want to do is turn on the oven, unless it’s for this tator tot taco casserole.  Seriously, it’s that good that turning on that oven for 30  minutes won’t even bother you. You probably even have most of the ingredients in your pantry and refrigerator.

I typically use tator tots but lately we’ve been buying tator rounds (or crowns, depending on the brand) and they work wonderfully in this recipe and others. I also use homemade taco seasoning, but a package of your favorite taco seasoning mix works great, too.  Want it a bit spicier? You can diced a jalapeno and throw it in with the onion when browning the ground beef.
