Here’s a simple and cozy Crock Pot Chicken Tater Tot Casserole recipe—perfect for a hands-off dinner:
🍗 Ingredients (4–6 servings)
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie works great)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup (optional for extra creaminess)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 bag (about 32 oz) frozen tater tots
🍳 Instructions
- Mix the filling:
- In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, soups, sour cream, cheese (reserve a little for topping), onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble in the crock pot:
- Spray the crock pot with nonstick cooking spray.
- Spread the chicken mixture evenly at the bottom.
- Top with frozen tater tots in a single layer.
- Sprinkle reserved cheese on top.
- Cook:
- Cover and cook on Low for 4–5 hours or High for 2–3 hours, until tater tots are soft and the casserole is bubbly.
- Optional crisping step:
- For a crispier top, transfer the casserole to an oven-safe dish and broil for 3–5 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve:
- Scoop onto plates and enjoy with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
If you want, I can also give a shortcut 1-hour version using frozen pre-cooked chicken and quick cream sauce—it’s even faster and just as comforting. Do you want me to share that?
