Jalapeno Popper Casserole



1 pound ground beef (browned & drained)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
half can of milk (use soup can to measure)
1 can diced green chilis
6 oz. cream cheese
4 jalapenos (seeded & chopped)
1 pound bacon (cooked crispy)
2 pounds frozen tater-tots

mix beef, soups, milk, and chilis and cover the bottom of a casserole dish
dot with cream cheese chunks
sprinkle with jalapeno and bacon
cover the top with tater-tots

bake for 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees (til the mixture bubbles)

Dieters need not bother.

This is a work in progress
we are thinking about tossing the mushroom soup and subbing creamy cheddar soup
partially pre-baking the tater-tots for a more crispy tot
french fries instead of tater-tots
shredded chicken?
