Chilli cheese tater tots - Turned out great! Very moist.. Today I am sharing this Chilli cheese tater tots! A quick and easy dinner that is ready in under 15 minutes! The crispy tater tots with hot chili and gooey cheese…all the reasons why I love chili with potatoes come rushing back as I indulged in this dish. Plenty of leftover chili and tater tots mean I'll be having this again…probably tomorrow! Looking for someone to come to your house and prepare these dishes. I know, we had you at Bacon, but don't forget the rest of it, chili, cheese, tater tots, seriously what more is there? Cook once and eat twice with this hearty Southwestern casserole from Linda Baldwin of Long Beach, California.
Sprinkle with cheese; top with Tater Tots.
The chili cooks while the tater tots partially bake …. but if you really wanted to, you could use canned chili instead and save yourself that step - although, I highly recommend making the chili yourself.
It just tastes better in my humble opinion.
