The magic of tots + cheese, lots of cheese….

Loaded Cheesy Tater Tots - Familyfreshmeals.com --
There’s something almost magical about Tater Tots. They start from something so plain and ordinary, a potato, and they somehow transform into a crunchy, delicious little morsel.

On top of that, they’re so easy to work with! They cook up in no time, and you can use them in so many ways. You can start with just about any basic potato recipe, substitute in these little gems, and poof-you’ve got an instant meal with a special crispy-crunchy kick.

That’s just what I’ve done with my Loaded Cheesy Tater Tots. Start with everything you’d use on a loaded baked, but by putting it all on top of tater tots instead of common taters, you elevate it to a whole new level.

A level where hot, gooey cheese meets crispy fried potato, and a single bite can crunch in your teeth and melt in your mouth all at the same time.

Loaded Cheesy Tater Tots -  Delish!
And like every tater tot recipe (I’ve got a few HERE), it’s so simple to make that it really is like a magic trick. You just throw all the toppings on your cooked tater tots, whisk them back into the oven for a couple of minutes, and presto! Dinner is served.

And for your next trick, just put them in front of your family and watch them disappear.

2. Removed tots from oven, but keep oven on. Sprinkle with shredded cheeses, and bacon. Place back in the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

NOTE: You can either keep them on the baking sheet, or place tots in an oven proof pan.If you keep them on the baking sheet, you will be doing a single layer. But if you put them in a pan (as shown in the picture) you will want to do 2 layers. 1/2 of the tots, bacon and cheese, then the other 1/2of bacon and cheese.

    Yummy! That looks great. I’ve used to eat that kind of food till I’ve changed my way of living. I feel much better now, but I have to admitt the fact that I miss all ingredients that you mentioned above, especially bacon and cheddar cheese.
