Tater Tot Tempter

One of the housemates drove too close to Grocery Outlet the other day and returned with a 3lb sack of tater tots. While I might have been satisfied by simply baking the tater tots and dipping them in ketchup and Worcestershire sauce, I recalled this recipe that my ex-girlfriend had once threatened to make. It was a childhood favorite of hers, being one of the few things in the kitchen her mother allowed her to make.
