Girl, let me tell you about this absolutely life-changing midnight snack thatโs been my go-to whenever those late-night cravings hit! Iโm talking about my famous Loaded Pizza Tots โ itโs like your favorite pizza and tater tots had a beautiful baby, and trust me, itโs everything you never knew you needed in your life.
Picture this: crispy golden tater tots smothered in gooey melted cheese, topped with pepperoni, and drizzled with a garlic-herb butter sauce thatโll make your taste buds dance. The best part? It only takes 15 minutes to whip up when youโre desperate for something delicious at 2 AM!
Hereโs what youโll need, bestie:
โ 1 bag of frozen tater tots
โ 1 cup shredded mozzarella
โ 1/2 cup mini pepperoni
โ 2 tablespoons butter
โ 2 cloves minced garlic
โ Italian seasoning
โ Ranch dressing for dipping (because duh!)
Now, let me walk you through this magical process:
1. Preheat your oven to 425ยฐF (or use an air fryer if youโre fancy like that)
2. Spread those tots on a baking sheet and bake until theyโre golden and crispy (about 20-25 minutes)
3. While those are cooking, melt the butter and mix in the minced garlic
4. Once the tots are crispy, sprinkle on that cheese and pepperoni
5. Pop it back in for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is all melty and perfect
6. Drizzle with that garlic butter and sprinkle some Italian seasoning
