White Trash Casserole

Sometimes you need dinner to be simple, filling, and ready to throw in the oven without a second thought. This casserole delivers exactly that.

Layers of seasoned ground beef, sweet corn, and melty Velveeta get crowned with golden tater tots that crisp up perfectly while everything bubbles underneath.

It’s the kind of no-fuss meal that kids cheer for and adults secretly love, even if the name makes them laugh.

Kitchen Tips

• Drain the beef well: Excess grease makes the casserole oily. Press the cooked beef with paper towels if needed.
• Cube Velveeta small: Smaller cubes melt faster and more evenly, creating that signature gooey cheese layer throughout.
• Don’t cover while baking: You want those tots golden and crispy on top, not steamed and soggy.
