I Really Don't Cook Much Casserole

17 So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath,

18 so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. - Hebrews 6:17-18

I was staying at someone's house who claimed they don't cook much so I had to make do with what they had. Mini Tater Tots, frozen chicken, cheese, can of soup, milk and some sour cream.

This is the casserole I came up with! Not bad!!!

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 c sour cream 

1/4 c half and half, had to use milk

2 c cheese, shredded, any will do, I used Mexican 3 cheese blend

Mini Tater Tots, enough to cover bottom of 13x9 casserole pan

1/2 of a 24 oz. bag of Banquet Chicken Breast Tenders, baked 20 minutes at 425 degrees and set aside

Mix the soup, half and half, sour cream together and set aside.

Spray casserole with Pam and line pan bottom with tater tot, sprinkle with 3/4 c cheese and bake 20 minutes. 

I cooked the chicken and the tots at the same time in two different pans.

On the top of the cheesy tots, add soup mixture and then the chopped chicken.

Add rest of cheese and bake 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Everything is already seasoned so don't need to add any seasonings until u taste it when it's finished. It had plenty of seasoning!

1 O LORD, who shall sojourn in your tent? Who shall dwell on your holy hill? 

2 He who walks blamelessly and does what is right and speaks truth in his heart; 

3 who does not slander with his tongue and does no evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his friend; 

4 in whose eyes a vile person is despised, but who honors those who fear the LORD; who swears to his own hurt and does not change;
