Buffalo Chicken Tater Tot Casserole|This Is Why I’m Full
This Buffalo Chicken Tater Tot Casserole is a recipe I found while perusing Pinterest one day and as I love tater tots like they were their own food group I immediately told the hubby that we needed to make this pronto!
I’m super weird about the texture of food, and I hate soggy food more than anything else. And when I re-read the recipe I was really worried that the tater tots were going to get soggy. Blechhh. But I made it according to the recipe and was pleasantly surprised when they weren’t soggy at all! The flavor is fantastic, next time I think I might pre-cook the chicken before I put it into the pan because the tots cooked too fast and the chicken took longer than I thought and I had to put foil over the top so the tots didn’t burn!
