Normally I make recipes as is the first time but I played around with this one. First I omitted the black olives and green chilies. I added chopped onion and used one regular can of chili and one 'hot' can. I didn't want to freeze one so I cooked it in a 13x9 pan. I baked it at 425, uncovered, for 25 minutes and my tots were nice and crispy. I think at some point I might throw in some diced hot dogs for a chili dog flavor.

This was delicious. I had to uncover it and cook for another 20 minutes. Leftovers are really good too.

This was really good. I had second thoughts about it because my daughter doesn't particularly love chili but we both liked it a lot. The tator tots didn't really get done so I ended up baking it uncovered the last 10 minutes and still had to put it under the broiler for a few minutes to crisp them up. Probly will just bake it uncovered the entire time next time and see if that works better.

We LOVED this. The olives really add something! We used one 15-oz can chili (NO beans) and one 15-oz can Ranch Style Beans (black label with white lettering). Even our 12-month-old gobbled this up. It is super easy to make and we are adding it to our "favorites" list.

Put one in freezer for a day when my grandson is home and I don't want to cook. He loves tater tots and chili.
