Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease. Once cooled, chop into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Dice the tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeno. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the green tops from the white parts.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tater Tots

    Prepare the tater tots according to the package instructions, either by baking or frying until golden and crispy.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Layering the Ingredients

    In a large serving dish, place the cooked tater tots as the base. Sprinkle the crispy bacon, diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeno, and white parts of the scallions on top.

  2. 5

    Add Cheese

    Grate the cheddar cheese and sprinkle it generously over the layered ingredients.

  3. 6

    Drizzle the Cheese Sauce

    Finally, drizzle the DE cheese sauce over the top of the dish to add creaminess and flavor.
