Pre-season football perhaps, but football season!!!
The Wisconsin Test Kitchen decided this was a good reason to have some friends over, enjoy some beers and make some delicious snacks while we watched the Packers take on the Titans. The game was less than spectacular, but the snacks more than made up for it!
We've been fascinated with the idea of totchos (nachos made with tater tots instead of chips, for those not in the know). We found a recipe for jalapeno popper totchos; and thought this was a perfect way to combine two of our favorite game day foods together! And- what kid doesn't love tater tots? This is one dish adults and kids can both agree on.
Jalapeno Popper Totchos
Recipe courtesy of: http://www.iwashyoudry.com/2013/12/17/jalapeno-popper-totchos/
1 (32oz) package of frozen tater tots
16oz Velveeta cheese
4oz can diced green chilies
1/4 cup cream cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
3 strips of bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
2 green onions, diced
1 jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced
Instructions
Heat the tater tots according to package instructions.
In a small saucepan combine the Velveeta cheese with the diced green chilies (including the juices) and stir over medium heat until smooth and melted.
Place the cream cheese in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir in the sour cream and mix until smooth and creamy.
Assemble your Totchos! Place the crispy tater tots on bottom, followed by the cheese sauce, sour cream mixture, sliced green onions, thinly sliced jalapeños, and crumbled bacon. Serve immediately, and enjoy!
This was Sawyer's creation- which we called tolives- tater tots and olives mixed together. We don't recommend these quite as highly as the totchos.
Over the next few weeks we have more pre-season football to watch and a few fantasy football drafts to look forward to. We can't wait to share more of our delicious snack and meal ideas with you!
Stay Cool,
The Cool Dads Crew
