Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced (about 1 ¼ cup)
  • 1 can (4 ounces) chopped mushrooms, or 8 ounces freshly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can (15.25 ounces) corn kernels, drained
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15.25 ounces) petite diced tomatoes, drained
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled into small pieces
  • ¼ cup (57.5 g) sour cream
  • ½ cup (122.5 g) whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 package (32 ounces) tater tots, frozen
  • 1 ½ teaspoons seasoned salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and spray a large, oven-safe skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • To the skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook for 4-5 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spatula as you go.
  • Add the onions, mushrooms, and peppers. Cook until the beef is cooked through and the vegetables are softened (about 8 minutes).
  • Add the garlic and cook for 30 more seconds.
  • Drain any excess grease.
  • Mix in the cream of mushroom soup, corn kernels, black beans, diced tomatoes, bacon, sour cream, milk, salt, and pepper. Let simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until thickened.

  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until hot and bubbly and the tater tots are crispy.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
