Triple Bypass Casserole

With bacon cheese and tator tots
this is a killer of a casserole.
Simple to put together and delicious.

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:
Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F.
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.
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.
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.
