Pour a little chili down in the dish after heating the chili on the stove.

Fry up the tater tots first. After that, put a single layer of tots in the pan or dish.

Pour chilli over the tots and add the cheese. You continue layering like you would a lasagna. I used little oven safe dishes and made them individual serving sizes.

Once you have the layering you want make the last layer be cheese and stick the pan of choice in the oven til the cheese is melted on top. Dig in. Enjoy
