Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 bag (32 oz) Frozen tater tots
  • 2 cups Cheese curds Fresh white cheddar is ideal
  • 1 cup Chicken gravy Use a -certified product
  • 1 cup Crispy bacon bits Use turkey bacon or beef bacon
  • 2 Green onions Sliced thinly
  • Salt and pepper To taste

Instructions

  • Step 1: Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the bag of tater tots. Spread the frozen tater tots out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and crispy, about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Step 2: While the tater tots are baking, pour the chicken gravy into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Step 3: Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove, drain excess fat, and chop into small bits.
  • Step 4: Once the tater tots are crispy, pile them on a serving platter. Pour hot chicken gravy over the tater tots, scatter cheese curds on top, and finish with bacon bits and green onions.
  • Step 5: Serve immediately while hot and gooey.
