BBQ Chicken & Bacon Tater Tot Casserole
Here's a twist on the classic Tater Tot Casserole! This BBQ Chicken & Bacon Tater Tot Casserole is so easy to make - and it's even easier if you use leftover chicken! You will need about 2 cups of leftover chicken.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 12 ounces bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1 can cream of chicken soup undiluted
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded 4 oz.
- 1 bag frozen tater tots (you may not need all of the tater tots) 32 oz.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until no longer pink. Remove from the heat and add the bacon, soup, milk and BBQ sauce. Spread evenly into the bottom of the prepared dish. Top with cheese, then tater tots.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tater tots are cooked and slightly browned. Serve!
Notes
- To make condensed soup substitute: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan. Stir in 3 tablespoons flour and stir until smooth and bubbly. While continuously stirring, add 1/2 cup chicken broth and 1/2 cup milk. Bring to a low boil, continuing to stir until it thickens. Salt and pepper to taste. Use in place of canned cream of "whatever kind" of soup. You can also add herbs, celery or mushrooms.
