Calories: 424kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 jalapeño diced
- 1 12 oz pack Frozen pepper stir fry mixture
- 1 12 oz pack Frozen corn
- 1 16 oz pack Frozen tater tots
Sauce Ingredients
- 1 stick of vegan butter
- ½ cup 1:1 gluten free flour blend
- ½ cup plant based milk not coconut milk
- 1 pack taco seasoning
- 5 oz enchilada sauce
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!
