Chili Cheese Tater Tot Casserole
Chili Cheese Tater Tot Casserole is ideal for busy weeknights and an excellent way to use leftover chili. Whether you prepare your own chili or opt for canned, this tater tot casserole is sure to be a hit!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds tater tots fully cooked
- 5 cups chili * See notes
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Bake the tater tots according to the package directions.
- While the tater tots are baking heat the chili up. Lightly oil a 9"x13" baking dish.
- Sprinkle the tots with a little salt if desired and layer half of the tots on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheese over the tots. Spread over the chili.
- Top with the remaining tots and shredded cheese. Place in a 375°F oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Enjoy!
