Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Brown beef over medium high heat in a cast iron skillet or deep pan.  If the pot or pan is not oven safe, you will transfer it to a baking pan prior to baking.
  • Once the beef is halfway to being done, add the diced jalapeños and saute with the beef.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce:
  • While the beef is browning, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  • Bring to a boil and then slowly whisk in the gluten free flour.  Let simmer for 1-2 minutes until it starts to form a sticky dough.
  • Add the salt, pepper, milk, and taco seasoning and mix well. 
  • Take off heat and mix in enchilada sauce.  The mixture will look oily and may look wrong, but it is right! 
  • Congrats, you've made the sauce!
  • Turn the stove top to low/medium heat and add the sauce to the ground beef and jalapeños.
  • Mix in the frozen peppers and corn until well coated in sauce and beef.  Flatten down the top of this mixture to make room for tater tots.
  • Arrange the frozen tater tots into a flat surface and so they completely cover the beef.
  • Bake for 30 minutes until the mixture is bubbling under the tater tots and the tater tots are starting to change color. 
  • Switch oven to broil and broil for 5 -10 minutes until the tater tots are golden brown.  Take out, top with additional jalapeños and hot sauce if desired and enjoy!
