Chili Cheese Tots Ingredients
Method
Chili Cheese Tots Directions
- 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
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
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.

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.

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.

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.
