Today I'm going to share with you one of my favorite comfort food recipes: crock pot beef stew. I really need to stop doing that.For more recipe ideas, join me at and sign up for my newsletter. All of the layering annoyed me, but that’s just because I have a hard time focusing on multiple step directions, and because I like to talk on the phone when I’m cooking. I really could have done some serious damage to the remaining half left in our crock, but restrained myself so we would have plenty for tomorrow. This is by far my favorite recipe in which we’ve used tots or hash browns. Our mixed veggies consisted of peas and corn, which I thought fit in really well. We really enjoyed this one! It’s not fancy, just a big pot of comfort food goodness. Our mixed vegetables were peas, corn, beans, and carrots-which added good color. It smelled yummy, and tasted just as good. Super easy and great for the whole family! This meal was yummy! I accidentally missed the milk and ranch step and didn’t even realize it until I started to write my review! I’m sure it would have tasted more like Tater Tot Casserole with the creamy sauce… ours tasted like a hash brown type breakfast casserole. Crock Pot Chicken Bacon Ranch Tater Tot Casserole I’ve used both my 6.5-Quart Crock-Pot Programmable Touchscreen Slow Cooker and my 3.5 Quart Crock-Pot Casserole Slow Cooker to make this Crock Pot Chicken Bacon Ranch Tater Tot Casserole. The chicken breaks apart easily when it’s cooked, so it’s a quick way to save a step, and I’m all about saving steps! Sometimes when I make this Crock Pot Chicken Bacon Ranch Tater Tot Casserole, instead of cutting up the raw chicken, I use uncooked chicken tenderloin and just layer them without making the pieces smaller. I’ve used mixed veggies with green beans, corn, carrots, and peas, and I’ve used just corn and peas like you see in this photo. You can use whichever frozen vegetables you like. It easily makes enough for a family of four to eat for two dinners, which we did, happily. My kids loved the tater tots, I loved that they gobbled up chicken and vegetables without complaint, and my husband loved how filling this dish is. And just like last time, this casserole was good, good, good. Because of this, it should come as no surprise that we are on our second chicken tater tot casserole in six months. If you follow our Crock Pot Thursday series, you know we like chicken.
