Ingredients
-
32 ounces frozen tater tots
-
1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, split in half
-
1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon (or bacon bits)
Weeknight Tater Tot Potatoes: Directions
-
Spray a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick spray to stop sticking and ease cleanup.
-
Spread frozen tater tots in one flat layer at the bottom. They can touch, but don’t pile them up for even cooking and crisp sides.
-
Mix cream of chicken soup and 1/2 cup cheddar cheese in a bowl until smooth. This makes a tasty, creamy topper.
-
Spoon the mix over the tots. Spread it out to cover most—don’t worry if it’s not perfect; it melts later.
-
Scatter crumbled bacon on top so every bite gets smoky taste.
-
Put on the lid. Cook on LOW 4-5 hours or HIGH 2-3 hours. Tots soften inside, bubble at edges, and brown lightly. Don’t peek much or it takes longer.
-
Sprinkle last 1/2 cup cheese on top. Cover and wait 5-10 minutes on LOW or WARM till it melts.
-
Turn off cooker. Let sit 5 minutes to firm up. Scoop out to serve. Add green onions or pepper if you like!
