Ingredients
- 1 (32 oz) bag frozen tater tots
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 (15 oz) can Manwich Original Sloppy Joe Sauce
- 1 cup Cheez Whiz cheese sauce
- 2 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese
- 1/2 small onion, diced (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion until the beef is browned. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the Manwich Sloppy Joe Sauce and simmer for 3–5 minutes.
Arrange the frozen tater tots in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
Spread the Sloppy Joe beef mixture evenly over the tater tots.
Warm the Cheez Whiz slightly and drizzle it over the beef mixture.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake uncovered for 30–40 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tater tots are golden and cooked through.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
