Tater Tot Nachos Directions
Yes, you can cook frozen tater tots on a grill. It is important that you have consistent heat.
For this recipe you need to:
- bake the tots in a pan on the grill
- cook and season the meat on a stove
- add meat, bean, and cheese and place back on the grill
- top with your choice of toppings
Bake in your oven according to package directions, then skip to step 2 above.
How to Grill Tater Tots
Heat a grill to medium-high heat, with a target of 425 degrees.
Put enough frozen tots in a foil pan to cover the bottom. If you stack them, they will not bake properly.
Place on the grill and bake for 25-30 minutes, extending the time if needed.
Due to uneven heating, cooking frozen tater tots over the campfire is not advised.
While the tots are baking, prepare the meat. I browned ground beef on the camp stove and added taco seasoning. Chop tomatoes, avocado, peppers, lettuce, or other desired vegetables.
Open up the grill and add the meat, beans, and shredded cheese. Close the lid and bake for about five more minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Remove the pan from the grill and add any more desired toppings. Want a bigger portion? Use a larger foil pan.
While these are cooking, you can prepare one of our foil pan desserts: S’more Nachos or Peach Crisp.
