A delicious and easy casserole that combines the flavors of pizza and tater tots in one dish, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1 bag (32 oz) frozen tater tots
  • Optional toppings: mini pepperoni, sliced olives, diced bell pepper, sliced green onions, sliced mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion, breaking up the meat, until browned and onion is soft, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
  3. Combine marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper with the beef; simmer for a couple of minutes.
  4. Spread the beef mixture in the baking dish and sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella on top.
  5. Arrange tater tots in a single layer over the beef and sprinkle remaining mozzarella over the tots.
  6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until tots are golden and cheese is bubbly.
  7. If using, add extra toppings and bake for an additional 4 to 5 minutes.
  8. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Cool leftovers to room temperature and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
