Air Fried Tater Tot Chili Pie
By CJ's Tasty Things
Ingredients:
•Tater Tots (2/3 to 1/2 of a bag)
•Chili (about 3 to 4 cups)
•Bell Peppers and Onions (about 2 cups)
•Cheese (2 to 3 cups)
•Black Pepper (to taste)
•Onion Powder (optional to taste)
•Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies (optional)
Accessories used:
•Ninja Round Baking Pan
You can also just use the base pan/baking pan that comes with the grill.
Directions:
•Preheat your Ninja Foodi Grill to 390° on the Air Crisp setting.
•Air Fry the Tater Tots for 10 to 12 mins gently turn over at about 7 minutes (depending on how many you have in the basket) you want them done but not super crispy.
•Remove the basket from the grill.
•Smash half the tots into the Ninja Round Baking Pan.
•Top with shredded cheese.
•Add the chili of your choice, either canned or homemade. I used Hormel Chili with Beans.
•Add a can of drained Tomatoes and Green Chilies if desired.
•Add the Bell Peppers and Onions, (I used Birdseye Frozen Bell Peppers and Onions) you can use fresh if you'd like.
•Season with Black Pepper and Onion Powder.
•Carefully place the Ninja Round Baking Pan into the base pan.
•Air Fry for 5 minutes to defrost and lightly brown the Bell Peppers and Onions.
•Top with a light layer of Shredded Cheese.
•Air Fry for 3 more minutes.
•Smash the remainder of the Tater Tots while the Cheese is melting.
•Remove the pan to heat safe surface.
•Add the rest of the Tater Tots and gently smash the over the top as evenly as possible.
•Season with Black Pepper and Onion Powder.
•Gently return the pan to the grill, being careful not to scratch the base pan.
•Air Fry for 5 more minutes.
•Add more Cheese and Air Fry another 3 minutes until melted.
•Remove from the grill and let rest.
•After about 5 minutes it should be good to go.
•Serve with a Silicone Spatula and enjoy! This comes out of the Ninja Round Baking Pan nicely, it's a very nice surface to work with.
