What You Will Need to Prepare the Large Family Slow Cooker Taco Tater Tot Casserole
Before you make the Large Family Slow Cooker Taco Tater Tot Casserole, make sure to have these ingredients:
- Ground Beef. You will use the ground beef as your taco meat in this casserole dish.
- Taco Seasoning. The taco seasoning adds flavor to the ground beef to make it taste better with the tater tots and cheese blend.
- Salsa. You can use your favorite brand of salsa, along with your favorite style, such as spicy, chunky, or mild.
- Black Beans. Not only are the black beans good for you, but they enhance the dish even more.
- Frozen Tater Tots. Grab a bag of frozen tater tots for this dish. The brand of the tater tots does not matter.
- Shredded Fiesta Blend Cheese. Adding the fiesta blend to the casserole is a great way to make it cheesy.
You will also need chopped onion and fresh cilantro to use as a garnish for the top of the dish. You can also check out my kitchen must-have supply list to help you store and freeze this meal.
How to Quickly Store Casserole
Store the Large Family Slow Cooker Tater Tot Casserole in the fridge or freezer. Before you put it in the refrigerator or freezer, you need to place the food in an airtight container or large food storage bag that seals shut. You may then leave the casserole in the fridge for three days or the freezer for up to three months. You can pull it out from the freezer and place it in the refrigerator overnight to defrost before you reheat the casserole.
Extras to Add to the Taco Tater Tot Casserole
The Large Family Slow Cooker Taco Tater Tot Casserole tastes great with additional ingredients that you might enjoy adding to your traditional tacos. Some of the best extras to include in your dish are sour cream, guacamole, sliced black olives, and diced tomatoes.
Pico de gallo is another excellent addition to this meal. Another way to switch up the dish’s flavor is to substitute the ground beef for ground chicken or ground turkey. It is a great way to make the dish even leaner, and it is an excellent substitute if you do not eat red meat.
