Cheesy Tater-Topped Chicken Casserole

I found this recipe years ago and am now copying it here from our family cookbook binder. Enjoy!

Cheesy Tater-Topped Chicken Casserole

1

bag (24 oz) frozen broccoli, carrots, cauliflower and cheese-flavored sauce

2 cups diced cooked chicken 

4

medium green onions, chopped (1/4 cup)

4

cups frozen potato nuggets (from 2-lb bag)

1/2

cup finely shredded Cheddar cheese (2 oz)

If you can’t find the Green Giant veggies with the cheese sauce already included, you can used frozen veggies and then add to them any prepared packaged cheese sauce mix that you can find, or make your own cheese sauce from scratch.

Heat oven to 375 degrees. In ungreased 11x7 glass baking dish, place broccoli, carrots, cauliflower and cheese sauce.  Microwave uncovered on high 3 to 5 minutes, stirring once, until thawed.  Stir well until cheese sauce is melted.  Stir chicken and 3 Tbl. of onions into mixture.  Top with frozen tater tots (use just enough to cover dish).  Bake uncovered 40-45 minutes or until bubbly around edges and potato nuggets are golden brown.  Sprinkle with cheese and remaining 1 Tbl. onion. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
