Pizza Tater Tot Casserole

I happened to grow up on casseroles, and I love potatoes and pizza, so this recipe really appealed to me.  It was so good, I should have made a double batch.

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1 (10-3/4 oz.) can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 (8-oz.) can pizza sauce (I made my own)
• 15 slices pepperoni
• 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 (16-oz.) pkg. frozen Tater Tots

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Brown beef and onion in a skillet over medium-high heat; drain.  Stir in soup.

Spoon beef mixture into an 8″ x 8″ baking pan that has been lightly sprayed with non-stick vegetable spray.  Spoon pizza sauce evenly over beef mixture; arrange pepperoni and green pepper over sauce.  Sprinkle with cheese; arrange tater tots over top.

Cover with foil; bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.  Uncover; bake and additional 20 minutes, until heated through and bubbling.

Serves 4.
