Step-By-Step Instructions

Start by adding the cooked ground beef to a large mixing bowl.

If you have a large skillet, you can just add the ingredients to the skillet instead of dirtying another bowl. Just make sure you drain the grease first.

If you do add the cooked beef to a bowl and it’s hot, make sure the bowl can withstand the heat.

I used ground chuck for the recipe, but you can also use lean ground beef or ground turkey if you’d like it a little less fattening.

Next, add the can of Sloppy Joe sauce and mix.

I used a can of Manwich Sloppy Joe sauce for this recipe, but you can also use homemade sauce.

Next, add half of the shredded cheese to the bowl and mix.

Spread the Sloppy Joe mix into a greased casserole dish and sprinkle the remainder of the cheese on top.

I always keep cooking spray handy, so I can grease the baking dish quickly.

Finally, spread the tater tots out on top of the Sloppy Joe mixture in a single layer. Bake for approximately 45 minutes.

If you like super crispy tater tots, you can broil them for about three to four minutes at the end. But be sure to keep an eye on them because they can burn fast.

You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
