Loaded Tater Tot Casserole

Is it casserole season yet? We’re heading into September and the temperatures are still warm here in Phoenix, but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying a yummy casserole every now and then. Many of y’all are familiar with tater tot casserole – ya know the one with ground beef … but this Loaded Tater Tot Casserole is full of bacon, chicken, cheese and scrumptious from-scratch chicken gravy!

I got this idea from my bloggy friend, Sheena over at Hot Eats and Cool Reads. I immediately knew my family would LOVE this. The only thing I did different to the recipe was to add the gravy – because who doesn’t love gravy?! 😉 If you’re pressed for time, you could substitute jarred gravy if you would like – or you can even omit it completely like Sheena did.

Instructions 

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Arrange the tater tots in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes.
• Top the baked tater tots with the gravy. Add the bacon, chicken, and cheese. Return to the oven and bake an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through.
• To serve, top individual portions with sour cream and green onions, if desired.

Notes

• I love using rotisserie chicken in this dish! Makes it so fast and easy. No chicken- use ham or other cooked meat.
