This was very good! It's a wonderfully hearty meal that can be altered easily :) My new hubby and I really enjoyed it. I did use hash browns in place of the tater tots since that's what I had and I also added in a can of Cream of Chicken. I loved how quick and easy it was at the end of a busy day! Thank you, it's a definite keeper! :)

I didn't use ground chicken, but leftover, from a whole chicken I had baked. I added a layer of colby-montery Jack cheese under the tater tots. It is so good! I can't imagine ground chicken, after trying it with leftover chicken that I had cut into cubes. Wonderful! Its a keeper! There is enough for tomorrow, which means, I am getting 3 meals out of that 3 lb. whole chicken I originally baked. Wow! Its so good, my husband and I both are looking forward to the 3rd time around!!

This was my first time making a casserole (I'm new to this cooking thing lol) and I thought it was great! I also used ground turkey as it's what I had and also doubled the soup and a little more water. Will deffinitely be making this again!

Very good! I've tried variations of this recipe - don't know why I like it so much. I used ground turkey instead of chicken, but I definitely want to try chicken soon. I also sprinkled a little cheddar cheese on top of the tator tots. The only other thing I think I'll try next time is add an extra can of cream of mushroom b/c we like ours extra creamy. Yum! Thanks for sharing.
