Ingredients
- 32 ounces tater tots frozen
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 slices bacon chopped
- 1 cup queso
- ½ cup Ranch dressing
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). If your tater tot package recommends a different temperature, adjust accordingly to accommodate both the tater tots and bacon.
- Spread the tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet. They will bake according to the package instructions, usually around 20-25 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the on a baking sheet.
- Place both baking sheets in the oven. The bacon will likely need 15-20 minutes to become crisp but start checking around 12 minutes to ensure it doesn't overcook. Remove the bacon once it's crispy and let it cool slightly before chopping it into pieces.
- While the tater tots and bacon are in the oven, warm up the queso in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop until it's heated through and pourable, about 2-3 minutes.
Assemble the Loaded Tater Tots
- Once the tater tots are baked, transfer them to a large serving dish. Season with salt and pepper.
- Evenly drizzle the warm queso and Ranch dressing over the crispy tater tots.
- Sprinkle the crispy bacon on top and garnish with green onions.
