Hi all I just wanted to note that some of my suggestions were deleted by allrecipes when they posted this. I make this using a round dish not a square one. This makes a difference in how evenly it cooks. I have used the stack cooker by tupperware and the largest round stainshield by rubbermaid. Things you can try to change up the taste: adding a can of green chillies or salsa or topping with crushed crackers (cheese-its Ritz or chicken-in-a-biscuit etc) or topping with fried onions (original or cheese flavored) fried jalapenos. Combine a few of these or just try one. Just gives you some different takes on this recipe. NOTE: Really doesn't need more salt especially with any of these add-in ideas. Maybe pepper though!
First off let me say ThankyouThankyouThankyou! I'm a college student who misses cooking but my dorm only has a microwave and we're not allowed heating elements so my opportunities are limited. I just tried this recipe and I'm amazed at how good it is. I didn't have any trouble heating it; I used a smaller casserole dish and only used half a bag of tater tots and it heated fairly thoroughly though I think next time I'll defrost the tots for longer. Also when I stirred the mixture into the tots my broke up a lot of them with my spoon and I think that made it heat more thoroughly. All in all great recipe. I'll be making this a lot in the next few years!
My family and I really liked this! I also had difficulty w/ heating but that didn't stop me from giving it 5 stars. It's a great quick meal and has many possibilities! Thanks for the great recipe!
This was easy and pretty tasty. I had some ingredients to use up so I did shredded hashbrowns and velveeta instead of tater tots and cheddar and doubled the sour cream. I didn't have cr chx with herbs so I added pepper basil oregano garlic salt and minced onion to plain cr chx soup. With the cheese and ham I probably could have done garlic powder--it got a little salty. Plan on taking more like 20 min to cook with stirring about every 5 min.
I made this dish the other night and it was difficult to get it to heat all the way through (it may have been my microwave.) I just scooped some out onto a plate and heated it up. It was delicious! Definitely a keeper!
this dish is awesome thank you thank you thank you...great for summer nights when you don't want to heat up the house.
So far so good but I began trying to fit a 9 x 13 in a microwave that doesn't suit it. Thanks.
This recipe is definately cheesy! I nuked it in a round dish as mentioned by the author it helped a bit but there were still cool pockets. The tater tots started to break down when stirring it all together. I believe frozen hash browns would work just as well.
Not much for casseroles but had the ingredients on hand so gave it a try. It was pretty good. Certainly easy to make!
