How To Make the lone ranger casserole

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Brown & drain your ground beef. Stir in the taco seasoning, water & salsa. Add the corn & black beans & cook until hot & bubbly.

Step 2

Place meat/corn/bean mixture in the bottom of a 9" x 13" pan. Sprinkle 2 C cheese over the meat. Place tater tots ontop of the cheese. Bake 30 minutes.
Step 3

Sprinkle the remaining 2 C cheese over the tots & broil until cheese is melted & getting a bit brown. Tater tots should be nice & crispy by then.
