1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
2
In a skillet over medium-high heat, saute the ground beef, garlic, and chopped onions until the beef is thoroughly browned. Drain excess fat.
3
In the same skillet, add the drained sweet corn, undrained green chilies, and canned refried beans. Mix well and cook until heated through.
4
Spread about one-third of enchilada sauce over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
5
Next, layer half of the tater tots, followed by the ground beef mixture, then half of the shredded Mexican cheese.
6
Arrange the remaining tater tots on top of the cheese, and pour over the remaining enchilada sauce. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese and sliced black olives.
7
Bake in preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Let it rest for few minutes before serving to settle the cheese.
8
To garnish, sprinkle with more sliced black olives if desired. Serve hot and enjoy this delicious and hearty casserole.
