I made this tonight and it’s great! Very simple to put together with common ingredients that are easy to find. Very filling and full of flavor. I did add a little more cheese than called for in the recipe to fully cover the top. Plus what’s wrong with more cheese right? I’m single though and this makes a lot!! Next time I’ll use about half the bag of tater tots (if that much even) and put it all in a 9×9 casserole dish. For me that will be an easy 4 – 6 servings.
Personally I like and need meat so if I were to ever make this huge batch again I would increase the ground beef by about half a pound, or use about 3/4 of the bag of tots. For my tastes it’s a little heavy on the tots but just barely, I want meat lol. Again that’s my taste.
My small apartment size oven cooks a little hot too so I don’t add cheese to the top of something like this until about the last 7-10 minutes of cooking time to keep it from burning. Maybe something people might want to be aware of when trying this in their own home.
I thought it was great just as is and I also tried a few bites with salsa, that was a little too much and didn’t taste quite right. Not bad but just not right. But then tried a few bites with a little taco sauce and wow that really enhances the taco flavor. It doesn’t take much, just a drizzle on top was fine. Now I’m thinking it could fully be topped like a taco with lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole etc. I have enough leftover to try it tomorrow night. Thanks for another great recipe and love the YouTube channel. I want a Ninja Foodi so bad!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it Jim! Great job adapting it to your preferences and needs!

It was tasty! I topped with lettuce, sour cream and salsa. I think next time I make I may use 1/2 the taco seasoning. Very adaptable recipe for personal taste. Thank you for the recipe.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it Kathy!
