Jen asked for my recipe for tator tot casserole. Since it is a favorite around our house, I thought I’d share it with everyone as well as a chicken & stuffing recipe that is also a big hit at the Mouse house. Both are super easy and can be easily doubled into a bigger pan – bonus!
Tator Tot Casserole
Brown one pound of hamburger meat with minced onion, salt and pepper.
Once brown, add one can of cream of mushroom soup, some milk and sour cream to desired consistency (not too soupy, not too thick).
Pour into a baking dish (I use a corningware dish approximately the size of a deep 9″x9″ pan.
Spread frozen tator tots on top of mixture until covered.
Bake according to tator tot baking instructions, turn broiler on for the last couple of minutes.
Chicken & Stuffing
Cube 3-4 boneless chicken breasts and place in the bottom of a 9″x9″ pan.
Add 1 can cream of mushroom soup and sour cream (I don’t measure – approximately 1/3 c.).
Bake at 350 for 40 minutes.
Mix 1 package of chicken stuffing with 1 stick of melted butter.
Top chicken mixture with stuffing and bake an additional 20 minutes.
(I hate stuffing and I love this and the leftovers actually reheat better than you would expect, although obviously the stuffing is not as crispy as the first time around.)
Perhaps we’ll have a dessert edition some time. I have some great dessert recipes.
Yum, sounds delicious. I need to expand our dinner menu a bit.
I might try that tator tot casserole. With added cheese, maybe?
I make the tator tot casserole, but I throw in a can of green beans, then it is a whole meal!
OK, just one dumb questions, the chicken is cooked when you cube it, right?
Joy – There is no such thing as a dumb question, right? The chicken cooks in the oven with the soup/sour cream/milk, so it is uncooked when you cube it.
I bought the ingredients and I am about to go make the tator tot casserole right now.
SWEET! I don’t have to cook the chicken beforehand – this is going into my recipe file right away! Thank you! And I think I used way to many exclamation marks!
I think I am going to make tater tot casserole this week. Perfect comfort food, and who doesn’t need comfort?
One step closer to Duggardom!
