Scale
Ingredients
- 2-pound bag frozen tater tots, cooked
- 1 ½ cups marinara sauce
- ½ cup sliced pepperoni
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Cook the Tater Tots: Begin by preparing your frozen tater tots according to the package instructions until they are golden and crispy.
- Assemble the Totchos: Spread the cooked tater tots evenly on a large baking sheet. Pour marinara sauce over them, then gently toss with a large spoon or spatula to ensure all tots are coated evenly. Next, top the tots with shredded mozzarella cheese and sliced pepperoni evenly.
- Broil to Melt Cheese: Place the baking sheet under the oven broiler on high heat for about 5 minutes, or until the mozzarella cheese is completely melted and bubbly, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Pepperoni Pizza Totchos as a perfect snack or appetizer.
Notes
- Keep an eye on the tots while broiling to prevent the cheese or pepperoni from burning.
- You can add extra toppings like jalapeños or olives for added flavor.
- Use fresh mozzarella for a creamier texture, or pre-shredded for convenience.
- Consider baking the assembled totchos at 400°F for 10-12 minutes if you prefer a gentler melting method instead of broiling.
