It is just something about tater tots that make a meal fun, right? This Chili Tater Tot comes together within minutes and is perfect for busy weeknights.
This is one of those dump it all in and let it go kind of meals. And perfect on nights when you do not want to go to a lot of effort but still get a home cooked meal on the table. This recipe uses canned chili but you can also used leftover chili.
When I originally made this recipe it was made with only 3 ingredients. But recently I decided to spice things up and bit and add some cheddar cheese soup and some green chilis. This has been a preferred way to make it ever since. Either way you make it, its always a winner!
Chili Tater Tot Casserole
2 cans of chili without beans
tater tots
2 cup cheddar cheese
1-4 oz can of green chilis
1-10 3/4 oz can of cheddar cheese soup
1-10 3/4 oz can of cheddar cheese soup
Open the cans of chili and pour into either a 9 x 9 or 9 x 13 casserole dish or grab that cast iron skillet. (my favorite way) Mix in the cheddar cheese soup and the green chilis. Line tater tots on top of the chili and sprinkle cheese on top. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until tots are golden brown. You can also add ground beef or beans to this to stretch it a little.
(Original) Chili Tater Tot Casserole
2 cans of chili with beans
tater tots
1 cup cheddar cheese or more
Open the cans of chili and pour in a dish. This first time was in a 9 x 13 but I found that a square casserole dish worked better. Line tater tots on top of the chili and sprinkle cheese on top. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until tots are golden brown. You can also add ground beef to this to stretch it a little. Super simple!
