Best Chili Dog Tater Tot Casserole Recipes

CHILI DOG & TATER TOT CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
• Pour your Chili into a 9" X 13" pan. If the sauce doesn't comfortably cover the pan mix in a 1/4 cup of ketchup.
• Cut up the Hot Dogs and mix into the chili.
• Make sure the hot dogs have at least some chili sauce on them or they will burn.
• Put as many frozen tater tots on top of mixture as they will fit without overlapping. A uniform pattern cooks better and faster.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until tots are golden brown.
• Reduce the heat to 350 degrees.
• Lightly dust with salt and pepper to taste.
• Sprinkle the cheese on top of the tots and bake for another 10 minutes or until the cheese begins to brown.
