Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 ounces tater tots
- 8 count hot dogs
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons optional garnishes: chopped parsley or diced green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
Cut the hot dogs into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch chunks), and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, yellow mustard, ketchup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Stir in 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese into the sauce mixture, reserving the remaining 1/2 cup for later.
Add the hot dog pieces into the mixture and stir until the hot dogs are evenly coated in the sauce.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.
Top the mixture with the tater tots, arranging them in a single layer to cover the casserole completely.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden and crispy.
Remove the dish from the oven, sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top, and return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the Tater Tot Hot Dog Bake from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Optional: Garnish with chopped parsley or diced green onions for added flavor and color. Serve warm and enjoy!
