Triple Bypass

By: Jason 
"Described as a chili-cheese fry casserole, the name of this recipe is a joke about how unhealthy it is, but it was a hit with my friends and a great snack for the Super Bowl. Simple and delicious."

Original Recipe Yield 12 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans chili with beans
  • 1 (32 ounce) package extra crispy frozen potato rounds (such as Tater Tots®)
  • 4 slices bacon (optional)
  • 1 (8 ounce) package processed cheese food (such as Velveeta®)
  • 4 green onions, chopped (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the ground beef. Cook and stir until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Stir in the chili and mix thoroughly. Spread the chili mixture into a 9x13-inch baking pan then top with a single layer of the frozen potato rounds.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and potato rounds are crisp, 18 to 22 minutes. Meanwhile, place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble bacon and set aside.
  4. Melt the processed cheese food in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Pour melted cheese food over the potato rounds and top with bacon and chopped green onions.
