Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken or turkey (can used canned)
  • 12 ounces mixed vegetables , frozen
  • 21 ounces condensed cream soup (2 cans - 10.5 ounces each) - I used one can cream chicken and 1 can cream mushroom
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese , shredded
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 16 ounces tater tots , frozen

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • In a large bowl, add chicken, vegetables, cream soup, ½ cup cheese, black pepper, and paprika. Mix with a spoon to incorporate all ingredients.
  • In a 9 x 9 pan, pour in the chicken/vegetable mixture, spreading to make it even.
  • Top with the tater tots one at a time, placing side by side.
  • Cook uncovered for 25 minutes or until tater tots are browned.
  • Top with remaining ½ cup cheddar cheese and cook 5 more minutes to melt.
  • Serve right away.

Notes

  • Cooked chicken or turkey can be used - canned is acceptable (make sure to drain liquid).
  • No need to thaw frozen veggies.
  • Don't use uncooked vegetables - either use frozen or lightly steam before adding.
