Stop what you are doing and make this Salsa Verde Chicken Tater Tot Casserole!! OMG! Crazy good!!! Chicken and tater tots tossed in a creamy green chile sauce and pepper jack cheese. All of my favorites in one pan! We ate this for lunch and leftover for dinner the same day.

The creamy green chile sauce is one of my favorites. It is so easy to make and it doesn’t have any Cream of Anything soup. I always use full fat sour cream in the sauce. I haven’t tried it with low-fat or fat-free sour cream. If you try either one of those varieties, let me know how it turns out.

This casserole has a little kick from the green chiles and pepper jack cheese. You can certainly use a different cheese if you are worried about the heat from the pepper jack cheese. Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese would work great.

  1. Made this tonight. When my hubby and son asked what was for dinner, as soon as I told them, they both gave me that yuck face and said “I hate casseroles.” I know this and I’m used to this reaction but I still keep trying cause, guess what? I love casseroles!! I told them to trust me, that I had a feeling they would change their mind about this one. I didn’t have a rotisserie chicken on hand so I cooked my chicken breasts with Famous Dave’s Country Roast Chicken rub. Everything else, the recipe was followed to a “t”. THEY LOVED IT! I LOVED IT! We were scrapping the dish clean! Haha!! No more casserole doubt in this house!

  2. This was amazing. My son ate 1/4 of the pan the first night. My new fave and it’s not hard to make at all.

  3. Just made this tonight. Was delicious 🤤
    I think it would also be good with shredded beef. This will be a regular on my menu. My boyfriend ate almost the entire casserole alone. He’s taking the leftovers tomorrow for work. Thank you for the great recipe!!

  4. I got lazy and didn't do the whole melted butter/flour in a pan thing. I just mixed all the ingredients in the baking dish and threw it in the oven. It was so, so good! Thank you for the recipe!

  5. Had a similiar casserole but lost it. So glad to find this one. In memory comparing my old recipe it froze beautifully. I would think this one would also. I am a great believer in once fixing twice eating. Thanks Steph for all the hard work you do. I know I can always find something great on your site. Gwen

  6. OMG! Had this tonight and this was so GOOD!!!! Lick the pan good! I love that it doesn't rely on cream of anything soup too! This is definitely a keeper in our house!
