Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (32 ounce) bag frozen tater tots
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese, onion powder, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the chicken mixture.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the tater tots.
- Return the casserole to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tots are golden brown and crisp.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute cream of mushroom soup for the cream of chicken soup.
- You can add 1 cup of frozen mixed vegetables, like peas and carrots, to the chicken mixture before baking.
- To make this ahead of time, assemble the casserole completely (without the final cheese sprinkle) and cover it tightly. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add 10 minutes to the initial baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
