What You’ll Need to Make This Chili Cheese Tater Tots Recipe

Here’s what you will need:

• One two-pound bag of frozen tater tots
• Two cans chili with or without beans
• Shredded cheese
• Baking sheet
• Foil (optional)

Bake the tater tots according to the directions on the bag.  I cooked my tots at 425 degrees for 28 minutes.  For easy cleanup, line your pan with some aluminum foil.

Gather up the tots on the pan.  Put them in a big pile.

Top the tots with two cans of chili beans.  I used one can of Hormel Chili NO Beans and one can of Hormel Chili With Beans.  I know the tater tots don’t look too appetizing at this point, but trust me, these chili cheese tater tots are delicious!

Top the chili with cheese.  I used a Mexican blend.

Pop the tots back in the hot oven for 7-10 minutes or until the chili is warmed up and the cheese is melted.
