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. 

In conclusion, the Chicken Tater Tot Casserole is a game-changer for busy weeknights. With its easy preparation and delicious taste, it’s sure to be a hit with everyone, from young professionals to stay at home moms.

You can customize this dish to suit your taste, and it’s a great way to use up leftover chicken or veggies.

So next time when you’re in catch-22 what to make for dinner, whip up this casserole and enjoy a warm and comforting meal in no time.
