Golden Chicken Casserole

1 can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted (10 ¾ ounces)
1 can condensed cream of celery soup, undiluted (10 ¾ ounces)
½ cup water or milk
¼ to ½ teaspoon salt
1 package frozen tater tots (32 ounces)
1 package frozen mixed vegetable (16 ounces)
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (4 ounces)

Combine soups, water and salt and mix well. Grease a 9 x 13 x 2 inch baking dish and layer one third of the soup mixture, half of the tater tots, half of the vegetables and half of the chicken. Repeat layers, finishing with remaining soup mixture. Sprinkle top with cheese. Cover and bake at 350° for 60-70 minutes or until bubbly. Uncover and bake an additional 5-10 minutes or until browned and heated through.

This is a great casserole to sneak in some extra vegetables. Any cream soups will work well and other frozen potatoes could easily be substituted if your family does not like tater tots (frozen hash browns, French fries, etc.)

Yield: 6-8 servings
Serving Suggestions – green salad and homemade rolls
