The ingredients I will list below serve about 4 to 6 people. If you want to make it for just two people, I recommend using half the ingredients.

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (optional)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 package (32 oz) frozen tater tots

Instructions:

You’ll have your recipe ready in just 7 steps! It seems complicated, but believe me, it’s one of the simplest recipes you’ll ever make. Are you ready?

Step 1 – Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2 – Prepare the Chicken

If you haven’t already, cook the chicken until fully cooked and shred or dice it into bite-sized pieces

Step 3 – Mix Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, chopped onion, mixed vegetables (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.

Step 4 – Assemble the Casserole

Spread the mixture evenly in a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 5 – Add Cheese and Tater Tots

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture. Then, arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the cheese.

Step 6 – Bake

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy and the casserole is bubbly around the edges.

Step 7 – Serve

Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Tater Tot Casserole with Chicken!
