Heat waffle iron.
Fill it with tater tots. Don’t forget all the little spaces.
Cook for 5-10 minutes, until crispy.
Take it off (tongs and spatulas help). Cook another tot waffle.
Leaving the second waffle in the iron, layer on the cheese, bacon, jalapeño, more cheese, and top with the first waffle. Press the iron down again and cook until the cheese is melted.
Carefully take that bad boy out. Slice and serve. Sooo cheesy.
