This Crock Pot Chicken Tater Tot Casserole is a family favorite. Tater tots, cheese, chicken and bacon. A whole meal in one!
This cheesy chicken tater tot casserole is so good. I just don’t know how else to describe it. It is cheesy. It is bacon-y. And you got your chicken and taters all together so it is a whole meal in one. You just gotta try it and let me know what you think. In my house, this is kid and hubby-friendly.
TIPS FOR MAKING THIS CASSEROLE:
I’m using bacon pieces here, but feel free to use fresh-cooked bacon you enjoy.
Serve with a salad and your favorite veggie.
It’s important to season the chicken well with salt and pepper or any other seasoning you prefer, like cajun seasoning or blackened chicken seasoning.
To make this even quicker, you can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken and cut the cooking time by a couple of hours.
To make in the oven: spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray. Then layer ingredients into baking dish. Don’t add the milk. Cover and bake at 350F degrees for about an hour to an hour and a half.
