How to Make Chili Cheese Tater Tots in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
The other day I was wanting some chili cheese fries. It got me to thinking how I could do something similar in the crock pot. So, now you have this delicious Crock Pot Chili Cheese Tots recipe!
As I was making this, Ryder and Iyla came into the kitchen. They immediately wanted to help. This was a great recipe to have them help me make. They could help me open and pour the cans of beans and the seasoning packet. I also got to teach them how to measure the cheese and let them pour it in. I love recipes where it is super easy for them to help and learn how to cook. It makes great memories and teaches life skills that they will be able to use their entire lives. <3
On top of making good memories, this recipe is delicious! The kids (and let’s be honest…Michael and I too) couldn’t wait for this to be ready. It was cheesy and delicious! This recipe became an instant family favorite!

Easy and tasty!
I agree! This is a favorite around here. I’m so glad you enjoyed it as well!
This looks so delicious and easy to make! But I think I’m gonna use HOT chili beans because I love hot and spicy food!
My mouth is on fire just thinking about it! lol My husband, however, would love this recipe the way you are going to make it. Hope you enjoy this recipe with a little heat added in!
