• Cooking Time: 27 to 32
• 1 2lb bag Tater Tots
• 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 8oz can tomato sauce
• 1/2 c ketchup
• 1/4 c water
• 3 T brown sugar
• 1 T worcestershire
• 1 t salt
• 2 c shredded cheddar cheese

1. Layer tater tots in a 13x9 baking pan.
2. Bake at 425° for 12 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, brown ground beef with onions and garlic.
4. Add tomato sauce, ketchup, water, brown sugar, worchestershire and salt.
5. Mix thoroughly.
6. When tater tots are out of oven, spread sloppy joe mixture over top.
7. Then top with cheese.
8. Lower oven heat to 350° and bake an additional 15 minutes until hot and bubbly.

COOKS NOTES: Instead of the onion and the rest of the ingredients down to salt, I just used a sloppy joe mix packet, tomato paste and water (as per the directions on the packet). The casserole is good and quite filling.
