Recipe from Gooseberry Patch’s 101 Cozy Casseroles.
For this Crock Pot Pizza Tater Tot Casserole, I used my Casserole Crock Pot. It was perfect, but it was FULL. So if you don’t have one of these bad boys yet, I would recommend that you use a 5-6 quart slow cooker.
As with any of our recipes, 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
