Ingredients
- 1 pkg hot dogs, sliced as thick or thin as you like
- 4 cups chili, canned or homemade
- 7-8 cups tater tots, frozen
- 2 cups cheese, shredded, more or less to taste
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
- Grab a 13x9 inch pan or something similar.
- Place sliced hot dogs all over the bottom of the pan.
- Cover the hot dogs with chili and then sprinkle a layer of cheese. We find this helps the tater tots not get soggy.
- Next place your frozen tater tots in rows and columns. Put as many frozen tater tots as you can without overlapping.
- Add remaining cheese on top.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes
- Choose a high-quality canned chili with lots of flavor.
- Bake your casserole at the right temperature and duration to achieve crispy tater tots and gooey cheese.
- Add a layer of cheese underneath the tater tots and on top so they cook up crispy.
- Allow your casserole to rest for 10 minutes before serving to help the ingredients set and make it easier to serve.
- Shred your own cheese for the best results. Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that doesn't allow cheese to melt nicely.
