Make this delicious corned beef and tater tots casserole for your family and friends. It's a recipe inspired by corned beef hash, but easier.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 (12-ounce) cans canned corned beef (such as Libby’s)
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
  • 8 ounces Cheddar cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)
  • 1 (28-ounce) package frozen potato tots (such as Tater Tots)
  • 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!
