Step 1

Preheat your pellet grill or oven to 425°F. Season the tots with your taco seasoning, and bake until they are golden brown and crisp, turning occasionally to ensure even crispiness.

Step 2

On a separate pan, put your little smokies on it. Bonus points if you use your Slotdog slicer to cut the smokies first. (It seriously brings this up a notch and allows all the chili and cheese to seep inside the mini smokies!

Step 3

Cook the smokies for about 7-8 minutes or until they are starting to develop some color on the outside and are sizzling.

Step 4

Add 3 cups of the shredded cheese on top of the crispy tots. Put the smokies on top of that layer of cheese.

Step 5

Top that with hot chili, and top the chili with the remaining cheese.

Step 6

Throw the whole thing back into the oven or smoker and cook until the cheese is melty.

Step 7

Remove and enjoy!
