Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare your microwave-safe dish.

Tips & Substitutions
For a delightful twist, consider using cheddar or pepper jack cheese instead of Swiss for added flavor. If you're short on time, pre-cooked ham slices can save you a step. Ensure the Tater Tots are spaced out in the microwave for even cooking. For an extra crunch, try broiling them for a minute after microwaving.
