Creamy Tater Tot Casserole Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 pounds tater tots, thawed
• 1 (16 ounce) sour cream
• 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1 (8 ounce) package sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup finely chopped onion
• cup butter, softened
• teaspoon seasoning salt
• 1 dash garlic powder
• 3 cups cornflakes cereal
• cup butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
• teaspoon paprika, or to taste

Directions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350F (175C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish to prevent sticking.

Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine thawed tater tots, sour cream, condensed cream of chicken soup, shredded Cheddar cheese, chopped onion, softened butter, seasoning salt, and a dash of garlic powder. Mix everything together until well combined.

Step 3: Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

Step 4: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cornflakes cereal and melted butter. Mix thoroughly to coat the cereal evenly with the butter.

Step 5: Sprinkle the buttered cornflakes mixture evenly over the casserole, ensuring it covers the top completely.

Step 6: Finish by sprinkling grated Parmesan cheese and paprika over the top for extra flavor and color.

Step 7: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Keep an eye on it during baking, and if necessary, place a cookie sheet under the casserole dish to catch any spills.
