Prep

Step 1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Set out a baking dish.

Cook

Step 2. Heat Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Onion and Ground Beef; break up the beef and cook until browned with no pink remaining, about 7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
Step 3. Stir in Garlic, Salt and Paprika. Cook over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 4. Add Black Beans, Corn and Tomato Sauce. Simmer over medium heat, stirring, until the filling is hot and thick enough to hold its shape, about 3 minutes.
Step 5. Spread the filling in the baking dish. Scatter Cheddar Cheese over it, then arrange Tater Tots in a single layer on top.
Step 6. Bake until the filling bubbles and the tots are golden and crisp, about 25 minutes. Let stand briefly before serving.
