Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch glass casserole dish.
- Spread the frozen tater tots in an even layer in the prepared dish.
- Spoon the chili with beans evenly over the tater tots.
- Pour the nacho cheese sauce over the top, then scatter the sliced pickled jalapenos evenly across the casserole.
Baking
- Bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, until the tater tots are hot and crisp around the edges and the casserole is bubbly.
- Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving so it sets up a bit and scoops easily.
Notes
Serve directly from the baking dish. Pairs well with sour cream, guacamole, or extra jalapenos for those who want more spice. Great alongside a fresh salad or with tortilla chips for dipping. For extra crispiness, bake a little longer but keep an eye on it. Customize by adding cooked ground beef, shredded chicken, or vegetables. Substitute chili with beans for meat or vegetarian chili, and use different cheese sauces for varied flavors.
