How To Make totchos casserole

    Heat avocado oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, chopped green chiles, diced red onion and steak seasoning.
  • Step 4
    Cook and stir mixture until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease. Set aside.

    Remove from oven. Spoon ground beef mixture over tater tot mixture evenly and sprinkle with shredded Mexican cheese blend.
  • Step 10
    Return to the oven and bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted.
