Tater Tot Pizza Casserole

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is translucent.

Step 3: Add the Pizza Sauce

Add the pizza sauce to the skillet with the cooked ground beef, onion, and garlic. Stir well to combine all the flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Layer the Casserole

Spread the ground beef mixture evenly in the greased baking dish. Top it with shredded mozzarella cheese and sliced pepperoni. Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the cheese and pepperoni.

Step 5: Add Toppings

If desired, add sliced black olives, diced bell peppers, sliced mushrooms, or any other pizza toppings you love. Get creative!

Step 6: Bake and Serve

Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Slice into portions and enjoy!
