For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a can of black beans or a diced jalapeño to the vegetable mixture. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream, shredded lettuce, or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a vibrant finishing touch. Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef. Adjust the amount of taco sauce to your preference for heat. Ensure that all canned ingredients are well-drained to prevent a soggy casserole.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a bowl, combine the drained corn, mushrooms, diced green bell pepper, salsa, tomato, and nacho cheese sauce. Spread this vibrant mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. (10 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate bowl, combine the ground beef and taco sauce, ensuring the beef is thoroughly coated. Gently spoon the seasoned ground beef over the corn mixture in the dish and stir to combine. (5 minutes)
04
StepArrange the frozen potato nuggets in a single layer on top of the beef and vegetable mixture, creating a golden-brown crust. Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend evenly over the potato nuggets. (5 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven until the ground beef is fully cooked and no longer pink, approximately 25 minutes. (25 minutes)
06
StepPosition an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Broil the casserole until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown, approximately 5 minutes. (5 minutes)
