Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sloppy Tater Tots.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, take your frozen potato nuggets and spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to crisp up beautifully.
Step 3
Pop the baking sheet into the oven and let those nuggets bake for about 20 to 24 minutes, or until they turn a delightful light golden brown and become irresistibly crispy.
Step 4
While the potato nuggets are baking to perfection, grab a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Add in the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Step 6
Stir frequently for about 5 to 7 minutes until the beef is nicely browned and crumbly.
Step 7
Once it’s cooked, don’t forget to drain any excess grease from the skillet to keep your dish light and tasty.
Step 8
Next, stir in your favorite sloppy joe sauce and let it simmer gently for about 5 to 10 minutes, allowing all those delicious flavors to meld together.
Step 9
When the potato nuggets are ready, take them out of the oven and arrange them on a serving plate, creating a warm and inviting base.
Step 10
Spoon the savory sloppy joe mixture generously over the nuggets, and for the grand finale, sprinkle a handful of shredded Cheddar cheese on top.
Step 11
The cheese will melt slightly, adding a creamy touch to your dish.
Step 12
Now, gather your friends or family around and enjoy this delightful, comforting meal that’s sure to bring smiles all around!.
