Chili Cheese Tots Ingredients

Method

Chili Cheese Tots Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tater Tots

    Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the frozen tater tots. Spread the tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Bake the Tater Tots

    Bake the tater tots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them halfway through for even cooking.

  3. 3

    Heat the Chili

    While the tater tots are baking, heat the chili in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Cheese and Toppings

    As the chili heats, slice the green onions and set aside. You can also prepare the sour cream for serving.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the tater tots are baked, remove them from the oven. Evenly pour the heated chili over the tater tots, followed by a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.

  6. 6

    Melt the Cheese

    Return the assembled tater tots to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve immediately with a side of sour cream for dipping.
