Chili Tots Directions

Prepare the Tater Tots
Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the frozen tater tots. Spread them out on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy, usually about 25-30 minutes.

Cook the Beef and Vegetables
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess grease. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
