Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Tater Tot Casserole Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 ounces bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 pound skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 (16 ounce) package frozen bite-size potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots®)
• 1.5 cups grated Colby cheese
• 1.5 slices grated Monterey Jack cheese
• 0.75 cup milk

Instructions

1. Cook bacon pieces in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally until crisp and evenly browned, approximately 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels and crumble when cooled.
2. Lightly season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
3. Grease the bottom of your slow cooker with bacon grease. Layer half of the Tater Tots on the bottom, followed by half of the bacon bits. Combine Colby and Monterey Jack cheeses in a bowl and sprinkle one-third of the cheese mixture over the bacon. Add a single layer of chicken, topping it with half of the remaining cheese. Sprinkle with the remaining bacon bits and top with the rest of the Tater Tots. Finish by sprinkling the remaining cheese mixture on top and pouring milk evenly over the entire casserole.
4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on High until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 3 to 5 hours.
