Instructions

1
In a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and diced onion.
2
Season with chili powder and cook, breaking up the meat, until the beef is browned and the onion is soft.
3
Add the sliced hot dogs and minced garlic, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4
Stir in the can of chili beans, the can of diced tomatoes with green chiles, and the tomato paste. Mix everything together until well combined.
5
Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the chili mixture.
6
Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the cheese, covering the entire surface.
7
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy and the casserole is bubbly.
8
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with sliced green onions and a drizzle of yellow mustard, if desired.
