OPIE'S CHEESY TATER TOT CASSEROLE



Opie's Cheesy Tater Tot Casserole image

I created this recipe over time in homage to the original from Opie's BBQ in Spicewood, TX. Some things to note: Ore-Ida tater tots have lots of salt and seasoning; typically off-brand do not. I would probably add over a tsp for off-brand tots.

BBQ CHICKEN TATER TOT CASSEROLE RECIPE

Provided by á-6416

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 cups of cooked, shredded chicken
Bar-b-que sauce {Make sure your favorite doesn't contain High Fructose Corn Syrup}
1 bag of Tater Tots
1 cup {4 oz} of shredded cheddar cheese {preferably organic or raw - I buy in a block and shred myself}

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and texture to the casserole. Some good options include broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, and zucchini.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough. Cook it until it is no longer pink in the center.
  • Use a good quality cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the casserole. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make this casserole, so feel free to add your own personal touches. For example, you could add a different type of cheese, or use a different type of meat.
