A hot dish (or a casserole to the non-Midwestern folk) is a scrumptious, hearty, comforting concoction that involves potato tots and lots of cheese! This version uses corn, beans, and homemade taco seasoning for south-of-the-border flavor - it will warm you up on a freezing cold night!
Preheat oven to 425℉. In a large skillet, brown ground beef and Member's Mark™ Sea Salt. Drain.
Stir in tomatoes, Member's Mark™ Minced Onion, Member's Mark™ Chili Powder, Member's Mark™ Organic Ground Cumin, Member's Mark™ Organic Granulated Garlic, and Member's Mark™ Spanish Style Paprika. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes, or until tomatoes break down.
Stir in beans (with their liquid) and corn; cook 2 minutes until heated through. Stir in 1 cup cheese. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9 x 13-inch casserole dish.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the beef mixture. Arrange the tots over the cheese. Bake 15 minutes until bubbling and tots are crisp.
