Guest Post – Cheesy Chicken Tater Tot Casserole {Slow Cooker}
When I was growing up, one of the meals that we had a lot was tator tot casserole. Now don’t get me wrong, I think it was good, but I never really liked red meat. I would eat it, but it wasn’t my favorite food! I am now married and I have two teenagers. My family is always asking for meals like that. I have made them, but I wanted something different. That is when I found the Cheesy Chicken Tater Tot Casserole on Pinterest. This recipe is courtesy of The Country Cook.
Ingredients
1 (32 oz.) bag frozen tater tots
1 (3 oz.)bag bacon pieces
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup milk
salt & pepper, to taste
Directions:
Spray slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray
Layer half of the frozen tater tots on the bottom of the slow cooker
Sprinkle with 1/3 of the bacon pieces
Now top with 1/3 of the shredded cheese
Add diced chicken on top. Season with salt & pepper
Now add 1/3 of the bacon pieces and another 1/3 of shredded cheese
Put the rest of the frozen tater tots on top
Finish with the remaining 1/3 cheddar cheese and remaining 1/3 of bacon pieces
Pour 3/4 cup milk all over the top
Cover and cook on low about 4-6 hours.
Please note: Some slow cookers run at different temperatures. If you are using an older slow cooker (older than about 6 years old), your cooking time may take longer. Newer models run a bit hotter so keep an eye on this around the 4 hour mark. You want to make sure the chicken is cooked thoroughly (to 165F degrees)
This recipe can also be made in a conventional oven, which is how I made it. To get the directions for the oven and for other delicious home cooked meals, visit her site here. It was so easy and best of all, my family loved it.
