Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

02

Step
7 mins

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, about 5-7 minutes; drain and discard any excess grease.

03

Step
5 mins

Add corn, salsa, processed cheese, cream cheese, and taco seasoning to the ground beef. Stir until well combined and the cheeses are melted.

04

Step
25 mins

Spread the beef mixture evenly over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange the frozen potato nuggets in a single layer over the beef mixture.

05

Step

Sprinkle the sliced black olives, diced jalapenos, and shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the potato nuggets.

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the potato nuggets are golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is bubbly and melted, about 25 minutes.

07

Step

Remove from oven and let cool slightly before garnishing with dollops of sour cream. Serve immediately.

For a spicier kick, use a hot salsa or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the beef mixture.
Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef.
Add other toppings such as diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, or guacamole for extra flavor and texture.
For a vegetarian option, replace the ground beef with black beans or lentils.
