Place biscuits in single layer on top of beef mixture in slow cooker.

CHILI CHEESE TATER TOT CASSEROLE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Chili Cheese Tater Tot Casserole Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by jab120638

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 bag (32 ounce) tater tots
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 medium onion, chopped
A few shakes of Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
8 ounces tomato sauce
8 ounce can of water (use the empty tomato sauce can)
2 cups (8 ounces) Cheddar cheese, shredded
Sour cream (optional)
Green onions, sliced (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit Arrange the tater tots in the bottom of a 9x13-in. baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook and crumble the beef with the salt, pepper and onion until the beef is no longer pink. Drain if necessary. Return the mixture to the skillet. Add the Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, cumin, tomato sauce and water to the skillet. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency. (I like ours the consistency of Sloppy Joe's, but make yours how you like it). Top the baked tater tots with the chili. Sprinkle with the cheese. Return to the oven and bake an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through. To serve, top individual portions with sour cream and green onions, if desired. The chili cooks while the tater tots partially bake .... but if you really wanted to, you could use canned chili instead and save yourself that step - although, I highly recommend making the chili yourself. It just tastes better in my humble opinion. I did not put beans in this ... but if you want to, feel free to add a can of drained and rinsed beans. A few shakes of Worcestershire sauce Preheat oven to 400°F. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook and crumble the beef with the salt, pepper and onion until the beef is no longer pink. Drain if necessary. Return the mixture to the skillet. Add the Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, cumin, tomato sauce and water to the skillet. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency. (I like ours the consistency of Sloppy Joe's, but make yours how you like it). Top the baked tater tots with the chili. Sprinkle with the cheese. Return to the oven and bake an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through. To serve, top individual portions with sour cream and green onions, if desired.

CHILI CHEESE CASSEROLE



Chili Cheese Casserole image

This recipe is from a friend in New Mexico. I posted the recipe for roasting chili peppers. This is a tried and true recipe. In New Mexico they always have a bag of the roasted peppers in the refrigerator at my friends house. They use them in everything from salads to appetizers. The appetizer was just the roasted chili peppers on a soda cracker, but real good.

Provided by Muddyboots

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 -15 green chili peppers
1 lb cheddar cheese
4 eggs
1 (13 ounce) can evaporated milk
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup saltine crackers

Steps:

  • You will need the roasted and peeled chili peppers. Pull off tops , split and remove seeds Grate cheddar cheese. Layer split chili peppers in a 9x13 greased pan. Cover with the grated cheddar cheese. You should have two layers. Beat throughly the eggs, flour and seasoning. Pour over the chili cheese. Butter saltines and crumble. Then pour them over everything. Bake 350 for 45 minutes.

Tips for Making Chili Cheese Casserole:

1. Use a variety of cheeses: Using a blend of cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan, adds depth of flavor and richness to the casserole. 2. Choose high-quality chili: The quality of the chili you use will greatly impact the flavor of the casserole. Use a homemade chili or a high-quality store-bought chili with a good balance of spices and flavors. 3. Don't overcook the noodles: The noodles should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked noodles will become mushy and ruin the texture of the casserole. 4. Use a large baking dish: A 9x13 inch baking dish is the ideal size for this casserole. A smaller dish will make the casserole too thick and dense, while a larger dish will make it too thin and spread out. 5. Bake the casserole until bubbly and golden brown: The casserole is done baking when it is bubbling around the edges and the top is golden brown. This usually takes about 30 minutes. 6. Let the casserole rest before serving: Letting the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld and the casserole to set. This will make it easier to cut and serve.

Conclusion:

Chili cheese casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make comfort food dish. It is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a potluck. With its combination of hearty chili, gooey cheese, and tender noodles, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal that the whole family will love, give chili cheese casserole a try.
