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.

BACON TATER BAKE



Bacon Tater Bake image

Your family is going to love this tater tot bake. We did in the Test Kitchen! The crispy bacon is smoky and delicious. There are notes of garlic flavor and yummy bits of onion throughout. We added cheese to the top and it was soooo good. But, you could leave the cheese out and it would still be a delicious casserole.

1 tsp garlic powder with parsley
1/2 tsp sea salt
