Ingredients

• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 small green bell pepper, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

5. Spread the sloppy joe mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
6. Arrange frozen tater tots in a single layer over the meat mixture.
7. Bake for 30 minutes until tater tots are golden and crispy.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of chili powder or smoked paprika to the meat mixture.
