Easy Cowboy Casserole

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds 80/20 ground beef
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 yellow onion, finely diced
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes (preferably fire-roasted)
• 1 1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth
• 1 cup corn
• 1 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 2 1/4 cup freshly grated Cheddar cheese
• 1 (32 ounce) package of tater tots

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375° and have ready a greased 9x13" casserole dish. 
2. Add to ground beef, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to a  large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Break apart the meat, blending in the spices and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring often.
3. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the beef to a bowl and set aside. Turn off the heat and carefully, spoon out all but a thin layer of grease and discard. Resume medium-high heat setting, add the diced onion and sauté 3-4 minutes, until softened.
4. Add the beef back into the pan, along with crushed tomatoes, beef broth, and corn. Bring to a simmer.
