Crock Pot Cheesy Tater Tot Casserole Notes
- You won’t use your entire bag of tater tots, but a 16 oz bag wouldn’t have covered the top in my casserole crock. So you can just have some extra tots in your freezer to enjoy later!
- As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

Can I use real cheese?
Hi Buffy!
I haven’t tried it with another cheese, but think cheddar would work well. Just slice a block of cheddar and use the slices in place of the other cheese slices. If you give it a try. Let me know how it turns out!
