Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 16 ounces frozen bite-sized potato nuggets Tater Tots
- 8 ounces lean ground beef
- 0.5 ounces taco seasoning
- 0.5 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups shredded lettuce
- 0.25 cups salsa

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray 12 cups of a standard muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place 5 tater tots in each of the 12 slots.

Bake tots in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the muffin pan from the oven. Use a tamper or the bottom of a small glass to press the tater tots down into the bottom and sides of each cup. This will create a tater tot cup. Place back in the oven and cook 10 minutes more.

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef with taco seasoning in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.

Divide ground beef between the cups. Top with shredded cheese.

Return the muffin pan to the oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven to a rack to cool for 3 minutes. Top with lettuce, salsa, and sour cream. Serve immediately.

Fry Bread Tacos
A yummy twist to an old favorite. The fry bread makes the difference. It's a popular request at my house. I do up everything but the fry bread in advance, and just heat up before serving. You can also top with other of your favorite taco toppings, such as onion, sour cream, or guacamole.

Grandma's Deviled Eggs
There are two kinds of deviled eggs, sweet or savory; mine are the sweet variety. They always seem to be the first dish to disappear at any gathering I bring them to. My Grandma taught me this recipe forty years ago, and it's remained basically unchanged. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
