Ingredients
1 pound (450 grams) ground beef lean
1 small yellow onion diced (about 1 cup)
1 red bell pepper diced
2 cloves garlic minced
1 14.5-ounce can (1 400-gram can) diced tomatoes
1 cup (235 grams) ketchup
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1½ cups corn frozen or drained from a can
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
32 ounce bag (900 grams) frozen tater tots
1 cup (120 grams) shredded Colby Jack cheese
1 cup (120 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C and grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
Heat a skillet over medium high heat, and cook the beef with onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Crumble the beef as you cook it, and cook until cooked through (6-7 minutes). Drain fat.
Add diced tomatoes, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and corn. Cook together for 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, taste the sauce and adjust seasonings to your preference.
Transfer the sloppy joe mixture to the prepared 9×13 baking dish, then sprinkle with half of the cheddar and colby cheese. Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top.
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the tater tots are crispy. Sprinkle the remaining colby and cheddar cheese on top, and place under the broiler for a few minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving, garnished with chopped parsley.
