I think I'd go with melting the brie separately in order to maintain maximum tater-tot crispiness, but like ipsedixit says, really, how can you go wrong?? I also love that your post appears directly above "best low-fat recipes" - perfect!

Two thoughts: first, most restaurants deep-fry their tater tots, your results may vary (slightly) if you bake 'em. The other thing that hit me is that I'd sautee some diced onion to go with the cheese and bacon on top of the tots.
