Cooking...

I made a new recipe Tuesday night. It was Creamy chicken enchiladas. it was basically the same ingredients as king ranch chicken BUT i added enchilada sauce and rolled the mix in flour tortillas... it was delicious. Ask Cory... he made a happy plate!

Tonight, I tried something new... Tater tot Casserole. i made a few changes... i will post the recipe as I made it..... it was simple. i am testing it out on his parents tonight...nervous.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds tater tots, thawed
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup [i also used cream of mushroom blended up in the blended so there were no misc. mushroom pieces]
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion [i used onion powder on my chicken]
  • 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream [i only used 8 oz]
  • 1 (8 ounce) package sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 dash garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened [ i didn't use butter]
  • 3 cups cornflakes cereal [i used cheeze-its!!!!!]
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted [no butter was used in the making of this casserole]
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese [ i used shredded!!]
  • paprika to taste [nope.. didn't use this]
  • ADDED 2 chicken breasts [ boiled and shredded. boys need meat for every meal]

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  2. Cook tots on cookie sheet for 15 minutes. [I like them crispy]
  3. Layer tots on bottom of greased dish. [i laid them like this for fun and i had time. not required]
In a large mixing bowl combine soups, sour cream, cheese; mix well.
  • Place chicken on top of tater tots.













  • Transfer mix to casserole dish on top of everything else.
  • Top with cheeze-its. Sprinkle the top with parmesan cheese (use more or less according to your taste).
  • Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until browned. (Note: It's a good idea to put a cookie sheet under the casserole dish, in case it bubbles over while cooking.)
