This recipe is a family favorite! My whole family really loves this recipe, and it can be modified easily to suit individual tastes. Add veggies, or don’t, change up the cheeses <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional tater tot casserole is made with ground beef. Instead we combine chicken and bacon, seasonings, half and half (instead of sour cream), and frozen tater tots in the slow cooker and cook while you handle other things during busy days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I actually make this on weekends because of the shorter cook time. I like to spend time on weekends out and about, or doing things that need to get done. Having dinner in the crockpot is a great way to maximize your weekend hours, and the best part is that it’s hands off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Kylee’s Notes<\/span><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n

While slow cooking doesn’t make for incredible crispy tater tots, you can brown some up in the oven before serving if that is super important to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature<\/strong> of 165 degrees F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a different flavor<\/strong>, use packaged ranch mix in place of the garlic powder\/seasoned salt\/pepper. Add onion powder if you like!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add <\/strong>some green beans towards the end of cooking time, if your family doesn’t incite mutiny at the sight of greens (sigh – ask how I know).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garnish <\/strong>with parsley or green onions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Store leftover <\/strong>chicken tater tot casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat until it is piping hot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
