Tater Tot Sloppy Joe Skillet

This dish can be made ahead of time by preparing the sloppy joe mixture and storing it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, simply reheat the meat mixture, bake the tater tots, and combine them in the skillet with the cheese. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake in the oven until heated through, or microwave individual servings.

Tips

• If you prefer a spicier version, you can add a few dashes of hot sauce or some chopped jalapeños to the sloppy joe mixture.
• For a fun twist, try adding a dollop of sour cream or salsa on top of the skillet before serving.
• Use your favorite brand of sloppy joe sauce, or make your own using tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and a little brown sugar for extra sweetness.
