Cheesy Chili Tots

This should be enough different from Kim's-sorry had already shopped when she posted!!

Cheesy Chili Tots

1 pound ground beef
2 cans (15 oz each) chili with beans
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 can (2 1/4 oz) sliced ripe olives, drained
1 can (4 oz) chopped green chilies
2 cups (8 oz) shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
1 package (32 oz) frozen tater tots

1. In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the chili, tomato sauce, olives and chilies. Transfer to two greased 8X8 baking dishes. Sprinkle with 1 cup cheese, top with tater tots. Cover and freeze or cover and bake. (if using immediately, cook 30-35 min; sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese and bake 5 more min).
2. To use frozen: Remove from freezer 30 min before baking (do not thaw).  Cover and bake at 350 for 75-90 min or until heated through. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of cheese. Bake 5 more min or until the cheese is melted.
