1 (16 ounce) package frozen bite-size potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots(R))
1 pound ground beef
1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning
1 cup water
1 (15 ounce) jar nacho cheese dip

1 (10 ounce) bag shredded lettuce
1/4 cup sour cream (optional)

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Place potato nuggets in the bottom of a glass baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and crisp, about 20 minutes.

Cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until no longer pink, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain off fat and discard. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce is reduced and thick, about 10 minutes.

Serve atop shredded lettuce and garnished with sour cream.
