Tater Taco Casserole

Serves 6 with leftovers 

Ingredients:

2 lbs Tater Tots 

2 package taco seasoning

Ranch dressing

Cheese

1 package ground beef

Instructions:

Mix together ingredients in a bake dish until combined. Cheese is used to hold the ingredients together and should be used generously. Add enough ranch to make sure all taco seasoning is wet and ingredients are starting to stick together.   

Spread mix into small layer for faster cooking. Separate in multiple containers if doing a larger batch. 

Cook dish in oven at 425 for 20-30 minutes until cheese is melted and tots are hot. Add additional ranch as desired to individual dishes.
