Tater Tot Cheesy Bacon Casserole

Are you a tater tot fan? Do they bring back memories of childhood lunches? Well, in this casserole they take on a grown up twist thanks to loads of cheese and crispy bacon! This dish comes together very easily and will be a hit at your superbowl party this year! It is perfect for any crowd and is even better that traditional nachos! The real topper is the Sriracha Spicy Mayo drizzled on top. I am already dreaming of other ways I can use the left over mayo. Maybe chicken topped nachos? Hmmm, what would you use it on? Try this one out soon and be sure to use a high quality cheese. Don’t skimp or it may not melt as nicely as you’d like.
