Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Grease a 9X13 inch casserole dish and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and brown, breaking apart into crumbles as it cooks, about 5 minutes. Transfer to colander to drain.

Step 3

Add the onion and bell pepper to same skillet. Cook until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds longer.

Step 4

Lower the heat and add the beef back to the skillet. Sir in the ketchup, water, tomato paste, brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and optional hot sauce. Simmer, loosely covered, for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to blend the flavors. Spread in the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

Arrange the frozen tater tots on top in a single layer. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until tater tots are crisp. Remove from oven and sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 5 additional minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
