Cheesy Tater Topped Chicken Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Combine the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a large bowl. Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the spice mixture and the chicken to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside and has released some juices, about 5 minutes (the chicken will finish cooking in the oven). Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken to a medium bowl; leave the juices and as much oil as possible in the skillet.
• Add the bell peppers, onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the top and stir to combine. Once the mixture looks sandy, add the broth and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cream cheese and stir until smooth. Fold in the beans, corn, chicken, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Sprinkle the top with 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Remove from the heat.
• Add the potato tots to the bowl with the remaining 3 tablespoons spice mixture and toss to coat. Arrange the tots over the chicken mixture in a single layer in concentric circles. Sprinkle with any spice mixture left at the bottom of the bowl and the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Bake until the tots are crispy and the casserole is bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes. Serve garnished with guacamole, sour cream, salsa and cilantro, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In ungreased 11x7-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish, place broccoli, carrots, cauliflower and cheese sauce. Microwave uncovered on High 3 to 5 minutes, stirring once, until thawed. Stir well until cheese sauce is melted.
• Stir chicken and 3 tablespoons of the onions into vegetable-cheese mixture. Top with frozen potato nuggets.
• Bake uncovered 40 to 45 minutes or until bubbly around edges and potato nuggets are golden brown. Sprinkle with cheese and remaining 1 tablespoon onion. Bake 5 to 10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Mix everything but the Colby cheese and french's onions in a large bowl (make sure tots are still frozen so they don't break apart).
• Scoop mixture into one 9x13 pan.
• Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for one hour.
• Top with Colby cheese and then French's onions and bake for another 5-10 minutes until onions are golden brown.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 13x9x2-inch baking dish with the cooking spray. Stir the soup, sour cream, 1 cup cheese, milk, garlic powder and black pepper in a medium bowl. Spread the potatoes in the baking dish. Season the potatoes with the salt and additional black pepper. Top with the chicken, spread the soup mixture over the chicken. Cover the baking dish. Bake for 40 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the mixture is hot and bubbling. Uncover the baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with the bacon and chives before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray.
• In 5-quart Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell peppers and jalapeño chile; cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are just crisp-tender. Add flour and taco seasoning mix. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in tomatoes and green chiles. Heat to simmering. Remove from heat; stir in chicken, 1 cup of the cheese and 1 cup of the sour cream.
• Place half of the frozen potatoes in single layer in baking dish. Spoon chicken mixture on top. Top with remaining frozen potatoes, then remaining 1 cup cheese.
• Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until casserole edges are bubbly and potatoes are lightly browned. Sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with salsa and remaining 1 cup sour cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a saute pan with about 1 Tbsp of butter saute onions and mushrooms until tender.
• In a bowl combine broccoli mixture, chicken, half of the green onions, garlic powder or fresh minced garlic plus the sauteed onions and mushrooms.
• Transfer to a 3-quart baking dish. Arrange potatoes on top.
• Bake, uncovered for 40 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and remaining green onions. Bake 5-10 minutes more or until cheese melts.
