Description

A comforting casserole combining crispy tater tots, hearty chili, and gooey cheddar cheese, perfect for family gatherings and busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bag of frozen tater tots
  • 2 cans of chili (options with or without beans)
  • 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup of sour cream
  • 1/2 cup of chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Spread the frozen tater tots evenly across the bottom of a large baking dish.
  3. Pour the chili over the tater tots, ensuring it’s spread evenly.
  4. Top with the shredded cheddar cheese.

Notes

For added flavor, consider mixing in chopped bell peppers or jalapeños. Broiling for a couple of minutes can create an even crispier top.
