This Chicken Alfredo Tater Tot Casserole is a complete meal on its own, but you can pair it with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced dinner. Garlic bread would also make a great accompaniment, perfect for soaking up any extra Alfredo sauce.
Tips and Variations
Make It Ahead: You can prepare the casserole in advance and refrigerate it until you’re ready to bake. Just be sure to add an extra 10 minutes to the baking time if you’re starting from cold.
Add Vegetables: For a bit more nutrition, consider adding some vegetables to the chicken mixture. Broccoli, spinach, or peas would all work well in this dish.
Spice It Up: If you like a bit of heat, try adding some red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños to the chicken mixture.
Change Up the Cheese: While mozzarella is delicious, you can experiment with other cheeses like cheddar, provolone, or a blend of Italian cheeses for a different flavor profile.
Notes
Leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
Freezing: This casserole can also be frozen before baking. Assemble the casserole, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and freeze for up to 2 months. When ready to bake, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and bake as directed.
