Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef
1 small onion, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 oz. taco seasoning mix

Directions:
Directions:
Spray a 6 quart slow cooker with non-stick spray. Add the tater tots down in an even layer, so there isn't a high spot. In a large skillet, set over medium heat, brown the hamburger, onions and green pepper. When the meat is browned, drain the fat. Add the amount of water that the taco packet says to add to the meat. Add the taco packet, and continue cooking and stirring until the meat and the seasoning has thickened. Pour the meat mixture over the tater tots in the slow cooker. In a medium size bowl, add the sour cream, salt, pepper, onion powder, and half of the cheese (heaping cup), save the other half to top the casserole at the end. Cook and cover on low for 4.5 hours, without opening the lid during cooking time. Cover and let the cheese melt (about 6 - 10 minutes. To serve top with diced tomatoes or your choice. This recipe is very mild, so you can spice it up with pepper-jack cheese or replace the green pepper with jalapeno.
