Cheesy Ranch Tater Tots

I make a lot of frozen tater tots. We like to eat them with sloppy joes, BLTs, and burgers. I saw a yummy looking recipe on Pinterest for cheesy fries, where you make your own fries and add lots of delicious fattening toppings, so I tried it with my frozen tater tots. I usually half this when I use it as a side for my family.

Cheesy Ranch Tater Tots
adapted from ohsodelicioso.com
1 bag frozen tater tots (or french fries)
Sour Cream Ranch Sauce
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1/4 cup milk
Toppings
1 cup (or as much as you like) Shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup real bacon bits
1/4 cup green onions
Salt and pepper to taste

1. Cook frozen tater tots according to package directions.
2. Spread 3/4 of the sour cream ranch sauce onto an oven safe serving platter. (I used a cookie sheet)
3. Arrange tots on top of the sauce.
4. Drizzle remaining sauce on the top, and sprinkle on the toppings.
5. Place under broiler for a few seconds to melt the cheese.
Serve immediately

  5. Made these tonight...I used a nonstick 8 1/2 by 11 cake pan to prepare these. I used real bacon, I diced it up raw and then cooked it up. Delish! I wouldn't change a thing.

  6. Is this soupy? Or is sauce thick like a casserole?

  7. I'm not sure I understand the question, but if you asking about the consistency of just the sauce, it's like a dipping sauce, not super runny, but not as thick as sour cream because of the added liquid. You can use the sauce how you'd like too. I don't always put it on the bottom, I like to just drizzle it on the top. You could leave it off all together and use it as a dip.

  9. Is there a way to make this as a casserole or in a crockpot?

    1. Hi! I would probably not recommend preparing it that way because only the top layer of tater tots would be crispy. The rest would be soft.
