- 14 ounces canned corn rinsed and drained
- 24 ounces sloppy joe sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded, divided
- 32 ounces frozen tater tots
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Grease the baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Cook the ground beef in a skillet until browned (160°F), breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain the excess fat.

- Stir in the sloppy joe sauce and smoked paprika, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 5 minutes over medium heat.
- Spread the beef mixture in the baking dish. Top with half the cheese, then the frozen tater tots, then the rest of the cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes, until the tater tots are crispy and golden and the center reaches 165°F. Serve warm.
Notes
Use a greased 9x13-inch dish. Keep the tots frozen until they go on, in a single layer. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and eat within 3 to 4 days; reheat to 165°F.
