Main Ingredients

  • 1 bag frozen tater tots Crispy base for the casserole
  • 2 cans chili (with or without beans) For hearty filling
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese For a gooey topping
  • 1 cup sour cream For serving on top
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions For garnish and flavor

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large baking dish, spread the frozen tater tots evenly across the bottom.
  • Pour the chili over the tater tots, making sure it covers them well.
  • Top with shredded cheddar cheese for that gooey goodness.

Baking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

Serving

  • Serve with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with chopped green onions.

Notes

For a twist, add sliced jalapeños or use sweet potatoes instead of tater tots. Cheese variations and adding protein can enhance the dish.
