    A few notes on this Chicken Tater Tot Casserole

    I made this in my 10" cast iron skillet but if you don't have one of those, you can spread this into a 9x9 baking dish or a 9x13. The 9x13 baking time will need to be adjusted, probably shortened, just because that bottom layer is spread thinner.

    But everything is technically cooked. You do need to defrost/heat the tater tots, though. 

    For the 10" skillet, I did not use the entire bag of tater tots. I used just over half.
