CHEESY CHICKEN, BACON & TATER TOT CROCK POT BAKE



Cheesy Chicken, Bacon & Tater Tot Crock Pot Bake image

This is a simple throw-together dish I came up with that is great for a Sunday after-church meal. Note: You can fry your own bacon for this recipe. I like the taste of bacon but cannot handle the lingering smell it leaves in the house when you fry it, so I just buy the jarred bacon for the few times a year I use it.
