Creamy Chicken Tater Tot Casserole Will Win Over Your Taste Buds With Just One Bite

Shared

Casseroles are one of the easiest yet still tastiest things you can make for dinner. Whether you have no time or just don't like to spend too much time in the kitchen, a good old casserole dish is perfect for you.

Its a full meal in one dish. Skip all the steps of making 3 or 4 separate dishes and combine them all into one for not only less cleanup, but a full and filling meal. Sometimes I will prep them the night before so all I have to do when I get home from a busy day is just pop it in the oven.
