During my recent conversation with Moore, through his partnership with Beef, It’s What’s For Dinner, he shared an interesting point about his Cheat Sheet Totchos recipe. While many people might cook beef specifically for this recipe, it could be a great second day meal, too.

Chef Moore shared that when he would work in football stadiums, they would go cook a lot of prime rib. Whether it was all the action or the delicious aroma, but people would devour tons of prime rib. While this particular recipe uses ground beef, it could be transformed with left over prime rib, steak or a variety of beef dishes. Like most chefs appreciate, good food should never go to waste.

Additionally, Chef Moore shared that a Totchos recipe can be a great way to celebrate the teams in a big game. By changing the “accoutrements” a little, the totchos recipe could go from a Kansas City BBQ inspired dish to a Tampa Bay Cuban feel.

Having made this recipe a couple of times, here are some hints. Making the tater tots in an airfryer is a great idea. Most people have an airfryer or a multi-purpose small appliance with an air fryer setting.

Ensuring that the tater tots are super crispy is key. With all the other toppings, you want to have the tater tots serve as the texture.

The easiest way to customize this recipe is with the cheese sauce. For example, a beer cheese sauce could make it a nod to Wisconsin. A green chile cheese sauce could make it more Southwestern. Basically, there are limitless possibilities with this tasty recipe.
