Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
- Pour your Chili into a 9" X 13" pan. If the sauce doesn't comfortably cover the pan mix in a 1/4 cup of ketchup.
- Cut up the Hot Dogs and mix into the chili.
- Make sure the hot dogs have at least some chili sauce on them or they will burn.
- Put as many frozen tater tots on top of mixture as they will fit without overlapping. A uniform pattern cooks better and faster.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until tots are golden brown.
- Reduce the heat to 350 degrees.
- Lightly dust with salt and pepper to taste.
- Sprinkle the cheese on top of the tots and bake for another 10 minutes or until the cheese begins to brown.

CHILI TATER TOT CASSEROLE
I looked at Tater Tot casseroles on Recipezaar to see if there was one like this, and I didn't find a recipe. A friend of mine told me how she makes the casserole and the other recipe's are similar to hers. But what do you do when you want potatoes and chili? Use what brands you like, this is what I picked up in the grocery. Big casserole for a big crowd or left overs.

Steps:
- In a 10 inch cast iron skillet, brown the ground beef and ground turkey together. Season as you like.
- I used a 13 x 9 oval Pyrex casserole dish.

- Sprinkle the grated cheese liberally over the meat-chili mix, create a NICE layer of cheese.

- Bake at 350 degrees for about 35 to 40 minute, until tater tot are heated and cheese is melted.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh ground beef, flavorful chili, crispy tater tots, and gooey cheese will make all the difference in this casserole.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure to leave some space between the tater tots so that they can crisp up nicely.
- Don't skimp on the cheese: A generous layer of cheese on top of the casserole will make it extra cheesy and delicious.
- Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will ensure that the casserole is cooked through and the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Serve immediately: This casserole is best enjoyed hot out of the oven, so serve it as soon as it's done baking.
