Chili Tater Tot Casserole Recipes

CHILI TATER TOT CASSEROLE

Steps:

• In a 10 inch cast iron skillet, brown the ground beef and ground turkey together. Season as you like.
• I used a 13 x 9 oval Pyrex casserole dish.
• Put the meats in the casserole dish.
• Pour the can of chili over the meats and blend together, pat down into the dish.
• Sprinkle the grated cheese liberally over the meat-chili mix, create a NICE layer of cheese.
• Pour the Tater Tots out of the bag onto the top off the cheese and even them out so they heat evenly, sprinkle a little seasoning over the top if you like.

CHILI CHEESE TATER TOT CASSEROLE RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit Arrange the tater tots in the bottom of a 9x13-in. baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook and crumble the beef with the salt, pepper and onion until the beef is no longer pink. Drain if necessary. Return the mixture to the skillet. Add the Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, cumin, tomato sauce and water to the skillet. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency. (I like ours the consistency of Sloppy Joe's, but make yours how you like it). Top the baked tater tots with the chili. Sprinkle with the cheese. Return to the oven and bake an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through. To serve, top individual portions with sour cream and green onions, if desired. The chili cooks while the tater tots partially bake .... but if you really wanted to, you could use canned chili instead and save yourself that step - although, I highly recommend making the chili yourself. It just tastes better in my humble opinion. I did not put beans in this ... but if you want to, feel free to add a can of drained and rinsed beans. A few shakes of Worcestershire sauce Preheat oven to 400°F. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook and crumble the beef with the salt, pepper and onion until the beef is no longer pink. Drain if necessary. Return the mixture to the skillet. Add the Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, cumin, tomato sauce and water to the skillet.
