Tater Tot Dip

Cheesy Tater Tot Dip 6

I don’t know if I have ever talked about tater tots on the blog before. If not, I can’t imagine why not? They are like my #1 fave convenience food. If Cliff is not eating dinner at home, I usually make myself a big tray of tots. I do this more often than I should admit. Clearly, not a well balanced meal. Luckily, I pair my tots with ketchup, which I understand counts as a veggie, so its all good.

Prob my fave scene from Napolean Dynamite:

So, even though I am tot obsessed I wasn’t sure about this recipe when Kelly suggested it. I wasn’t sure if the tots would really shine. Obviously, I had nothing to worry about. Turning my favorite side dish into a dip should have been a no brainer for me. When is adding cheese ever a bad thing? Answer: never. We also added crumbled bacon and green onions to make it a kind of loaded baked potato dip. But made with tots. Seriously yum.
