Hi!  This is Angie Scott....I still check this blog often to look for new recipes...thank you for continuing to add fun recipes to it.  Thought I'd share one that is so easy and can be made in the crock pot.  By no means is it a fancy meal, but it is quick, easy and tasty!  

Cheesy Chicken Tater Tot Casserole {Slow Cooker}

 Ingredients:

1 (32 oz.) bag frozen tater tots

1 (3 oz.)bag bacon pieces

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

3/4 cup milk

salt & pepper, to taste

 

Directions:

Spray slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.

 Layer half of the frozen tater tots on the bottom of the slow cooker.

Sprinkle with 1/3 of the bacon pieces.

Now top with 1/3 of the shredded cheese.

 Add diced chicken on top.  Season with salt & pepper.

Now add 1/3 of the bacon pieces and another 1/3 of shredded cheese.

 Put the rest of the frozen tater tots on top.

Finish with the remaining 1/3 cheddar cheese and remaining 1/3 of bacon pieces.

 Pour 3/4 cup milk all over the top.

 Cover and cook on low about 4-6 hours.

 Note: Some slow cookers run at different temperatures. If you are using an older slow cooker (older than about 6 years old), your cooking time may take longer. Newer models run a bit hotter so keep an eye on this around the 4 hour mark.  You want to make sure the chicken is cooked thoroughly (to 165F degrees).

 

Cook's Note: This recipe is designed to be made in a slow cooker. If your only choice is to make it in the oven then you will need to thaw partially thaw the tater tots first. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray. Then layer ingredients into baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about an hour to an hour and a half.

 Also, use any kind of bacon you want with this. If you have some fried bacon or microwave bacon - that all works just fine too!

 

Enjoy!
