Cowboy Casserole with Cheesy Tater Tots Recipe My Version of the Pioneer Women's Cowboy Casserole

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Add a little bit of olive oil to a 12-inch cast iron skillet and heat until hot.

Add ground sirloin to the skillet, breaking it up and seasoning with salt and pepper.

Cook the meat until it is seared and most of the liquid has evaporated.

Add chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until the onion is tender and translucent.

Add diced bell peppers and cook until just tender.

Turn off the heat and add cream of mushroom soup to the skillet, making a well in the center.

Pour in about half a cup of milk and stir to combine with the meat and vegetables.

Add corn and black beans to the mixture, stirring to combine.

Flatten the mixture in the skillet and arrange tater tots on top.

Preheat the oven to 375°F and bake for 40 minutes.

If the cheese starts to burn, cover with foil and continue cooking.

Let the casserole sit for 20 minutes after baking before serving.
