Ingredients:

1 cup sliced mushrooms (button or cremini) 🍄
1 can (10.5 oz / 300 g) condensed cream of chicken soup 🥫
1 ½ cups shredded cheese (a mix of mozzarella and cheddar is ideal) 🧀
1 bag (32 oz / 900 g) frozen tater tots 🥔
1 teaspoon garlic powder 🧄
1 teaspoon onion powder 🧅
Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) casserole dish. 🔥
Cook the Veggies: In a large skillet, sauté the sliced mushrooms over medium heat until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add the chopped spinach and cook for another 2 minutes until wilted.
Prepare the Chicken Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, sautéed spinach and mushrooms, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Layer the Casserole: Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly in the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese on top.
Add Tater Tots: Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the cheese.
Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tater tots are crispy and golden.
Top with Cheese: Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheese on top. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors in your Cheesy Chicken, Spinach & Mushroom Tater Tot Bake!
