Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease and 9X13 casserole dish and set aside.
Step 2
In a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat saute ground beef, onion, and garlic together until beef is cooked and no longer pink. Drain grease, if necessary.
Step 3
Reduce heat to medium low and add taco seasoning and undrained diced tomatoes with chiles. Cook and simmer until liquid reduces, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add sour cream, black beans, and 1 cup cheese to the beef mixture. Stir to combine.
Step 5
Pour beef into prepared casserole dish. Top with frozen tater tots in a single layer, so the tots become crisp during baking. If you have a few minutes, line them up in rows to make sure the full package fits on top. Bake for 45 minutes, or until tots are golden and crispy.
Step 6
Remove from oven and top with remaining 2 cups shredded cheese. Return to oven for 3 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Serve hot with suggested toppings.
