Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cans canned corned beef

    12-ounce

  • 1 small yellow onion

    chopped

  • 1 medium green bell pepper

    chopped

  • 8 ounces Cheddar cheese

    shredded, about 2 cups

  • 1 package frozen potato tots

    28-ounce

  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

    divided

  • 2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Sliced pickled jalapeños if desired

    for garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  2. 2

    Brown the corned beef and vegetables: Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corned beef, onion, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring often and breaking up beef with a wooden spoon, until the corned beef is browned and the vegetables soften, about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Build the casserole:  Spread the corned beef mixture in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the corned beef. Top with the potato tots in an even layer. Whisk the eggs, milk, black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl until well combined; pour over the potato tots. Mix the smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl until combined. Sprinkle evenly over potato tots.

  4. 4

    Bake:  Bake, uncovered, until the center is set, about 45 minutes. Let the casserole stand 10 for minutes, then garnish with pickled jalapeños (if desired) and serve. Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a review below!

About this Recipe

Craving a comforting, hearty meal that’s both satisfying and surprisingly simple to prepare? This Corned Beef Tater Tot Casserole takes the beloved flavors of classic corned beef hash and reimagines them into an easy-to-make, family-friendly bake.

What makes this casserole a standout is its clever combination of pantry staples and familiar textures. You get the savory richness of corned beef, the satisfying crispness of golden tater tots, and a creamy, cheesy egg base—all baked together in one dish. It’s significantly easier than preparing traditional hash from scratch, offering all the comforting flavors with far less fuss.

Prepare for a dish that delivers a symphony of textures and tastes. Imagine golden-brown potato tots, delightfully crisp on top and tender underneath, mingling with tender, flavorful corned beef, sautéed yellow onion, and vibrant green bell pepper. A rich, savory egg mixture binds everything together, while a generous layer of melted shredded Cheddar cheese adds a delightful tang and creamy finish. Each bite offers a comforting blend of savory, salty, and cheesy goodness, making it a perfect, low-effort centerpiece for any meal.

This recipe is wonderfully adaptable to your preferences. Feel free to experiment with your favorite type of cheese; Colby Jack, Monterey Jack, or even a Swiss would offer a delicious variation. If you like a little extra heat, don't hesitate to increase the chili powder or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the egg mixture. For a different visual, swap the green bell pepper for red or yellow bell pepper.

This hearty casserole is ideal for a comforting weekend brunch, a satisfying weeknight dinner, or even a casual gathering with friends. Garnish with bright, tangy sliced pickled jalapeños, if desired, to add a zesty counterpoint to the rich flavors.
