Instructions

Prepare the Chili: In a large skillet, brown the Ground Chuck over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the Yellow Onion and Garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the Fire-Roasted Diced Tomatoes, Dark Red Kidney Beans, Chili Powder, Ground Cumin, Smoked Paprika, Cayenne Pepper, Worcestershire Sauce, Salt, and Black Pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Prepare the Cheese Sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the Butter over medium heat. Whisk in the All-Purpose Flour and cook for 2-3 minutes, creating a roux.
Gradually whisk in the Whole Milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened, about 7-10 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Salt, and White Pepper until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Cook the Tots: Bake the Russet Potato Tater Tots according to package directions.
Assemble: Place the cooked Tater Tots on a serving platter. Top with the Chili, then generously drizzle with the Cheese Sauce. Serve immediately.
