• 1-2 lbs bag tater tots, cooked (I used half of a 2 lb bag)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven according to package instructions for tater tots, I baked them separate and added to the top so they would stay crispy.
2. Crumble and brown hamburger in a large skillet on medium high. Season well with salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder.
3. While that's browning dice up onion and bell pepper toss that in with the hamburger to get tender.
4. Start your water for mac and cheese, just make however you like your mac and cheese.
5. Add tomato soup, using about 1/4 can of water to the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish along with can of drained rotel. Drain the hamburger and add to the casserole dish. Stir to combine.
6. Top with cooked tater tots and more cheese.
7. Turn oven to 400 and bake 10-15 minutes or just until cheese it melted.
