A delightful twist on the classic tater tot casserole, featuring a cheesy chicken and vegetable filling topped with crispy tater tots.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy topping.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the ground chicken and diced onion until the chicken is browned and the onion is translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Add the diced bell pepper, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of mushroom soup, black pepper, and salt to the skillet. Stir well and cook until heated through.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture to a 2-quart casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Smooth the surface for an even layer of topping.
Arrange the tater tots in a single layer over the chicken mixture, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Ensure the tater tots are evenly spaced for uniform crispiness.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
Check halfway through and rotate the dish if needed for even browning.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
