Description
Cheesy Pizza Tot Casserole is a delectable dish that combines the flavors of classic pizza with crispy tater tots, baked to cheesy perfection.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup sliced pepperoni
- 32 ounce frozen tater tots
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
3. Stir in the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Then, mix in the pizza sauce until everything is well combined.
4. Spread the seasoned beef mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and sliced pepperoni over the top.
5. Distribute the frozen tater tots in an even layer over the second layer. Finally, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the tater tots.
6. Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
7. Allow the Cheesy Pizza Tot Casserole to rest for a few minutes before serving, so it sets and is easier to portion.
