Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 ounces frozen tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 6 slices bacon
- 4 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Spread the frozen tater tots evenly in the baking dish in a single layer.
Bake the tater tots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.
While the tater tots are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the skillet, let it cool, then crumble it into small pieces.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
Once the tater tots are done baking, remove them from the oven and pour the sour cream mixture evenly over the tater tots.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the sour cream mixture, followed by the crumbled bacon.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top for garnish.
Serve the loaded tater tots hot and enjoy as a delicious side dish!
