  1. Place tater tots on a sheet pan and bake according to package directions until as done and crisped as desired. Keep oven on and set temp to 425F.
  2. While tater tots bake, to a large skillet add the ground beef and cook over medium-high heat until done. Crumble beef as it cooks to ensure even cooking.
  3. Add the taco seasoning and stir to combine.
  4. Transfer cooked tater tots to an oven-proof skillet, spray with cooking spray, and arrange tots in a single flat layer.
  5. Top with the ground beef in the center, sprinkle with the cheese, and bake for about 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
