¼teaspoongarlic powder
¼teaspoononion powder
4cupscooked, shredded chicken(such as the meat from a store-bought rotisserie chicken)
4cupsfrozen corn kernels
Kosher salt and ground black pepper,to taste
1cupgrated cheddar cheese(or more to taste)
4cups(about 16 ounces) frozen Tater Tots
Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley or chopped green onions or chives
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir in the chicken and corn. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over top.
Arrange tater tots in a single layer on top of the casserole.
Bake, uncovered, until the filling is hot and bubbly and the tots are crispy and golden brown, about 40-45 minutes. For even crispier tots, transfer the dish to the broiler for a couple of minutes at the end. Rest for 5-10 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, chopped green onions, or chives just before serving.
Notes
You do not need to thaw the corn or the tater tots before assembling the casserole.
For even more flavor on top, sprinkle French fried onions over the tater tots during the final 5-10 minutes.
