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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right size slow cooker: A 6- to 8-quart slow cooker is the best size for this recipe. If you use a smaller slow cooker, the chicken and tater tots may not cook evenly.
  • Brown the chicken before cooking: Browning the chicken in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker helps to develop flavor and prevent the chicken from becoming dry.
  • Use frozen tater tots: Frozen tater tots are easier to use than fresh ones and they cook more evenly in the slow cooker.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: Make sure there is enough space around the chicken and tater tots so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of your slow cooker and the type of chicken you are using. Chicken breasts will take longer to cook than chicken thighs.
  • Serve immediately: This casserole is best served hot out of the slow cooker. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can cook it on low for 2-3 hours, then turn off the slow cooker and let the casserole cool completely. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, reheat the casserole on low for 1-2 hours, or until heated through.
