My kids will eat pretty much anything if it involves tater tots. This cheesy tater tot chicken casserole is no exception. And I like that it is an easy make ahead crock pot recipe that is dump and go!mash of food on a white plate next to a fork with text that reads "Cheesy Chicken Tater Tot Casserole"Tater tot casseroles are a go-to around here. I’m not sure that our kids could choose a favourite between our Ground Beef and Vegetable Tater Tot Casserole, Pizza Tater Tot Casserole, and Tater Tot Casserole with Ground Sausage.

This all in one meal is family friendly and tasty. This is exactly the kind of dinner busy families need for those crazy weeknights juggling homework, soccer or piano practise, and trying to get supper on the table.

Cheesy Tater Tot Chicken Casserole Recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. chicken breasts, boneless and skinless*
  • 32 oz. bag of frozen tater tots
  • 1 small bag of bacon bits or 3 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 12 oz. can evaporated milk
  • salt and pepper

*You can cube the chicken breasts or leave them whole.

Assembly Instructions:

  1. Place the chicken in a large resealable freezer bag.
  2. Add the tater tots, bacon bits or crumbled cooked bacon, shredded cheese, evaporated milk, and seasonings.
  3. Remove the excess air from the bag, seal, and freeze.

Cooking instructions:

  1. Thaw.
  2. Spray your crock pot with nonstick spray or use a crock pot liner (these are a major mess saver!).
  3. Dump the bag contents into the slow cooker.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.

Variations on this recipe:

  • Use tex mex or nacho blends of shredded cheese in place of the cheddar to kick it up a notch.
  • If you want things to be even cheesier, add additional cheese to the top in the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  • Substitute turkey bacon for the bacon.
  • Use imitation bacon bits instead of bacon or omit it altogether.
