Sloppy Joe Casserole

1 hour 15 minutes to prepare serves 4-6

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 32 oz frozen tater tots
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, grated

PREPARATION

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and onion over medium-high heat until cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Drain off any grease, then return to heat.
  3. Stir in tomato sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and salt and cook until simmering, stirring frequently, 2-3 more minutes.
  4. Layer half of frozen tater tots in the prepared baking dish. Spoon the beef mixture on top, then top with 1 cup of the cheese, followed by the remaining tater tots, and the rest of the cheese. Bake until bubbly and golden brown, 45-55 minutes. Serve with chopped pickles. Enjoy!
