PREPARATION
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, onion powder, garlic powder and red pepper flakes. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook garlic, for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Drain fat. Pour sauce into beef, stir until all is evenly coated. Cook for 5-10 minutes until slightly thickened. In an oven-safe casserole dish spread mixture into an even layer and top with 1 cup of cheese. Top with tater tots and then sprinkle remaining cheese over the top. Bake for 30 minutes or until tater tots are crispy and golden brown and cheese is melted. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Garnish with green onions before serving.
