What could be simpler than tater tots, ground beef, black beans, diced tomatoes and cheddar cheese? These are the main ingredients in this taco tater tot casserole. You may have these in your kitchen right now.

The ground beef is browned and seasoned with a package of taco seasoning or if you make your own taco seasoning you can use that instead. After the ground beef is browned and seasoning is added, you add the black beans, green chilis, sour cream, and cheddar cheese and mix it all together.

Put this in a baking dish and then top it with tater tots. You bake this in an oven at 400 degrees F for about 30 to 40 minutes and then add more cheddar cheese and bake for about another 5 minutes so the cheese over top gets all melted and gooey.
