Ultimate Creamy Tater Tot Casserole Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 pounds tater tots, thawed
• 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
• 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1 (8 ounce) package sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup finely chopped onion
• 0.5 cup butter, softened
• 0.5 teaspoon seasoning salt
• 1 dash garlic powder
• 3 cups cornflakes cereal
• 0.5 cup butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika, or to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish to prevent sticking.
2. In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the tater tots, sour cream, condensed cream of chicken soup, cheddar cheese, diced onion, melted butter, seasoning salt, and garlic powder. Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish.
3. In a separate medium bowl, mix the crushed cereal with melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole. Optionally, sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese and a dash of paprika for added flavor and color.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the casserole is heated through and the topping is golden brown. To prevent any potential spills, place a cookie sheet under the casserole dish while baking.
