Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tater Tots

    Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the Tater Tots package. Spread the frozen Tater Tots on a baking sheet in a single layer.

  2. 2

    Bake the Tater Tots

    Bake the Tater Tots in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.

  3. 3

    Heat the Chili

    While the Tater Tots are baking, heat the chili in a saucepan over medium heat until it is warmed through, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the Tater Tots are ready, remove them from the oven and carefully spoon the heated chili over the top of the Tater Tots.

  5. 5

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded Jack and Cheddar cheese evenly over the chili-covered Tater Tots. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the Macho Tater Tots from the oven, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve with sour cream on the side if desired.
