- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 2 cups Mexican Blend Shredded Cheese (cheddar & jack), divided

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Prepare a 9×13 baking pan by spraying a light coat of cooking spray on the bottom and sides of the pan.

4. While the tater tots are baking create the creamy mixture that will top the cooked tots.
5. Mix cream cheese, sour cream and 1 cup of shredded cheese in a medium size mixing bowl.
6. Spread the creamy mixture over the cooked tater tots then top that layer with desired amount of jalapeños.
7. Evenly distribute the second cup of shredded cheese over the jalapeños then top the cheese with bacon pieces.
8. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes.
9. Remove the foil then return the pan to the oven and bake the casserole for an additional 10 minutes.
10. Finally, serve this delicious jalapeño popper game day dish warm and watch it disappear.
