My family loves this Loaded Tater Tot Casserole! This is an easy recipe to make for your family too. Your kids will love it too!
Loaded Tater Tot Casserole
Is it casserole season yet? We’re heading into September and the temperatures are still warm here in Phoenix, but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying a yummy casserole every now and then. Many of y’all are familiar with tater tot casserole – ya know the one with ground beef … but this Loaded Tater Tot Casserole is full of bacon, chicken, cheese and scrumptious from-scratch chicken gravy!
I got this idea from my bloggy friend, Sheena over at Hot Eats and Cool Reads. I immediately knew my family would LOVE this. The only thing I did different to the recipe was to add the gravy – because who doesn’t love gravy?! 😉 If you’re pressed for time, you could substitute jarred gravy if you would like – or you can even omit it completely like Sheena did.

Loaded Tater Tot Casserole
Ingredients
- 1 bag frozen tater tots 28 to 32 oz.
- 1 jar chicken gravy (or use homemade) 18 oz.
- 1 pound bacon cooked and crumbled
- 2 cups leftover chicken chopped
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese shredded
- sour cream for serving (optional)
- thinly-sliced green onions for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Arrange the tater tots in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Top the baked tater tots with the gravy. Add the bacon, chicken, and cheese. Return to the oven and bake an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through.
- To serve, top individual portions with sour cream and green onions, if desired.
Notes
- I love using rotisserie chicken in this dish! Makes it so fast and easy. No chicken- use ham or other cooked meat.

This looks great! I had to laugh tho… because you said Phoenix is still hot heading into September. Phoenix is hot heading into November!! Just kidding. My son lives there and at Christmas time, when you guys are cold, we think it's perfect! I'm making this casserole this weekend.
Just my thing! Bacon & Chicken and a whole lot of other yums !
Yum! Bacon AND chicken AND cheese? I think my husband would approve. Stopping by from the Foodie Friday link-up! 🙂
Looks so good!! Thanks for sharing
Looks great, Jamie!! I will have to try it with gravy next time! Sounds delicious!!
Tater Tot Casserole is a fav of my guys, but I love this spin of it being loaded. My latest installment of A Little About Diana is up and I've accepted your for the Leibster Award. My criteria for picking my 11 bloggers were people who have read/asked me questions for my monthly feature about me. Since you have asked me questions I awarded you in return, but it's actually just a big thanks since you've already got the award.
looks delicious….just mouthwatering!
This looks nice and hearty and I bet hubby and the kids would both like it!
This looks fantastic. We love tots, so I'm sure this would be a hit at our house! Thanks for sharing at Simple Supper Tuesday.
