Ingredients
- 1 (32 oz.) bag frozen tater tots
- 1 can (15 oz.) chili, no beans
- 2 cups (16 oz. pkg.) shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions
1. Spray your 13 x 9 baking dish with non-stick spray. Spread the entire bag of tater tots in a single layer in the baking dish.
2. You can use a sheet pan with sides if you do not have a baking dish handy.
3. Cook the tater tots in a preheated oven according to package directions which should be at 400° for about 25 minutes.
4. While the tater tots are baking, pour the can of chili into a small saucepan. Cook on low heat until hot, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. Remove the tater tots from the oven once they are golden brown. Immediately spoon the chili evenly across the top of all the tater tots. Spread with the back of the spoon.
6. Sprinkle the cheese evenly on top of the chili-covered tater tots.
7. Turn the broiler on high. Return the baking dish to the oven and stand right there to watch the cheese melt. It happens fast so don’t leave.
8. Once the cheese is melted, remove the dish from the oven. Serve and enjoy!
