Turkey Chili Tots



Ingredients:

1 lb. lean ground turkey (I used Jennie-O)
2 cans Hormel Turkey Chili with beans, 98% Fat Free (15 oz.)
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 can (4 oz.) chopped green chilies
2 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 (32 oz.) pkg frozen tater tots (I ended up using about 3/4 of the bag for all three pans)

In a large skillet, cook the turkey over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the chili, tomato sauce and green chilies. Pour half of the mixture into an 8x8 pan or casserole dish. Pour the remaining turkey mixture in a prepared foil pan (or two smaller ones like I did, shown below). Top each of the casseroles with an even layer of tater tots. Sprinkle cheese on top of the tots. Place the one you are baking in the oven, that has been preheated to 350 degrees. Bake for 35-40 minutes.



Cover the remaining casserole with tinfoil and freeze. When you want to cook the frozen casserole, take out of the freezer about a half hour before cooking. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/4 hours roughly, or until hot.
