2 Quick and Easy Tater Tot Casserole Recipes

1. Chicken tater tot casserole

Ingredients:

• 6 cups shredded carrots
• 3 cans cut green beans
• 2 10.5oz cans of cream of mushroom soup
• 1 8oz softened block of cream cheese
• 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend or whatever kind you prefer)
• 1.5 lbs cubed and cooked chicken (could also use cooked Rotisserie chicken)
• 1 Tbsp Montreal chicken seasoning
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 32oz bag Tater tots

Recipe:

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Peel and shred your carrots.

2. Put the shredded carrots in a 9x13 or larger pan, add the drained green beans in. This dish will not stick, so you do not have to worry about using a separate mixing bowl.

3. Add the cream of mushroom soup.

4. Soften the cream cheese in a microwave for a few seconds, or leave it outside in advance. Add the softened cream cheese, and one cup of shredded cheese. You are going to need the second one for topping this casserole.

5. Boil and drain your chicken, then add it to the pan and stir a bit.

6. Season with Montreal chicken seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix well.

7. Top the mixture with cheese evenly.

This creamy and cheesy tater tot casserole is full of vegetables, but because they are chopped up really small, it will trick even your pickiest eaters. This amount of ingredients makes for eight portions.
